What is better than owning a collectible that is exceptional, magnificent and unique?
Every collector is always on the lookout for the next unique and out-of-the-ordinary piece to add to their collection.
When it comes to unique and out-of-the-ordinary art pieces, Limoges boxes in themselves are quite unique. Each piece is individually crafted and exquisitely hand-painted by a very select group of artisans in the Limousine region of central France.
All Limoges boxes are made in limited editions, whether stated or not. Numerous models are only made in very small quantities. This fact makes them quite unique and many styles are very hard-to-find.
The exclusivity of certain styles of Limoges adds another level of uniqueness to each piece.
Many Limoges box styles are produced by small factories and workshops from blanks that are made available to various artists in the Limoges area. The white porcelain shapes are painted by different artists with varying levels of artistry.
On the other hand, an exclusive Limoges box is only produced and hand-painted by one producer. Such styles are much more desirable as they are made with much higher quality and in much smaller quantities. Any collector who seeks to own pieces that are exceptional and scarce, will highly value exclusive Limoges boxes.
