Why Decorate with Paris Limoges Boxes?
There are many great reasons to decorate with a Paris-inspired Limoges box :
They Add Beauty to Any Décor
There’s something so utterly charming about a Limoges box. Maybe it’s the adorable miniature size, maybe it’s the painstaking craftsmanship, or perhaps it’s a certain je ne sais quoi. Whatever it is, a porcelain Limoges box adds an elegant touch of whimsy to any home.
Additionally, there’s such an enormous variety of Limoges boxes to choose from that there’s a Limoges box that’s just right for you, no matter what your tastes. For instance, on our site alone, we offer a whopping 2,433 Limoges boxes in every imaginable style and shape! With that in mind, you’re sure to find a Limoges box that perfectly reflects your personality—which is what great home décor does.
They Make the Ultimate Memento
If you’ve traveled to Paris, you already know how special the city is. Although you can’t take Paris home with you, you can keep it in your heart with a Paris Limoges box. Each time you look at your Paris Limoges box, you’ll be reminded of the incredible memories you have of Paris.
Even better, a Paris Limoges box makes for the perfect souvenir. If you purchase a souvenir in France, you run the risk of it breaking during transport or an aggressive baggage search by your airline. You also have to deal with customs.
By contrast, your Paris Limoges box will be safely delivered to your home, so you can easily incorporate authentic French artwork into your home décor. Ooh la la!
They’re One-of-a-Kind
A lot of time and care goes into the creation of a Limoges box. First, the French porcelain must be specially crafted. Then, the colors need to be hand-painted on, one color at a time, and fired in the kiln before the next color can be applied. Finally, the hinges are created and adhered by a master craftsman. As a result, it takes weeks to create just one Limoges box.
Furthermore, because each box is handcrafted, no two Limoges boxes are alike. Unlike a lot of mass-produced home décor items you may find, you’ll never find another home that has a Limoges box exactly like yours. Each one is unique in its own way, making a Limoges box an interesting conversation piece for any home.
How You Can Decorate with Paris Limoges Boxes
When it comes to decorating your home with Limoges boxes, there really is no right or wrong way to do it. However, we do have some suggestions to inspire you:
Room Selection
A Limoges box can add beauty to virtually any room. For instance, a café-themed Limoges box might look lovely in your kitchen, whereas a Limoges box featuring the Louvres might be a perfect addition to your den or study. When it comes to choosing which room to house your Limoges boxes in, our philosophy is every room!
Placement
Once you’ve selected the room you want to display your Limoges box in, you’ll need to choose where to display it. Again, there are no hard-and-fast rules here, but we recommend showcasing it on a mantel, book shelf, coffee table, or piano top.
Alternatively, you could display it inside one of our elegant Italian gold-leaf curio display cabinets . These cabinets are not only gorgeous centerpieces all on their own, but they’re also mirrored, so they’ll create the illusion of a larger space wherever you choose to place them.
One final tip about Limoges box placement…just remember that Limoges boxes are delicate, so wherever you display them, please make sure they’re out of the reach of kids and pets.
Grouping
While one Limoges box looks perfectly lovely on its own, you can also create an attractive display by grouping similar Limoges boxes together. You might, for example, group all of your travel-themed or Paris-themed Limoges boxes together. While you can place your grouping anywhere in your house, we especially like this idea for a mantel or a curio cabinet.
Now that you’ve seen the beautiful Paris Limoges boxes we offer and read our tips for displaying them, we just have one question…
