Limoges Boxes are the symbol of French art and elegance on a miniature level. These fine white porcelain boxes with beautiful hand painting and metal work have been sought after by collectors worldwide.
The history of Limoges boxes back to the time of Louis XVI, when the king's minister of finance, by a royal edict, the city appointed Limoges to be the exclusive producer of Royal Porcelain from the Kingdom of France. It is said that the first pattern porcelain boxes was the Marquis de Pompadour who submitted Virgin mates, each with a gift of a Limoges box. These shows will be offered as long, narrow boxes to hold the hands of the ladies expensive ways to celebrate thimbles or embroidery scissors or Limoges boxes round to hold a ring, dust or snuff. Ladies and gentlemen of that era also Limoges boxes are used for small exchange of love notes!

Each box may symbolize and celebrate special and memorable moments and events of our lives such as birthdays, new baby, Christmas and other holidays, graduation, dear animals, etc. There is a Limoges box made by any and all occasions / themes!
Collection of Limoges boxes became even more popular in the 80 and 90. With that popularity, many artists in Limoges could not keep pace with demand and had to use the help of students and less experienced artists to make some parts. As a result, some Limoges boxes made in that period are of lower quality than those painted by master artists.
One might think that the economic situation of our time have had a negative effect on the quality or availability of these long-standing collectibles. However, fortunately, the opposite is true. In recent years due to financial difficulties experienced throughout the world, many artists have had to reduce its size and some have even closed the shop.
