If you are looking to find the best place to buy a beautiful, authentic French Limoges box , you have come to the right place. Whether it is for a gift for someone special or to start or add to your own collection, finding a reliable and trustworthy source to purchase these highly-coveted art pieces is very important.
But first, let me start with some direction as to where is NOT the best place to shop for Limoges boxes.
I have heard some people say “one of these days, I should go to Limoges to buy Limoges boxes.” A trip to Limoges, France makes for a great and memorable visit but, as for buying these treasured collectibles, the city of Limoges is not the ideal place to shop for Limoges boxes. Other than a couple of small shops in the town center that offer a handful of Limoges box styles, you cannot find Limoges boxes for sale in Limoges. There are many small factories and workshops in the Limoges vicinity. However, these factories and artist ateliers are not open to the public and you cannot purchase directly from them. The majority of Limoges boxes produced in Limoges are commissioned by importers from the United States.
Before the age of the internet, many specialty gift shops, antique stores and high-end department stores around the country carried fine French Limoges boxes. Those days are now behind us. Numerous brick and mortar shops and even department stores have given way to the modern method of shopping -- online stores, some of which carry larger inventories and sell to an international clientele. You may still find some stores that carry a small selection of Limoges boxes in major metropolitan areas.
With that said, you still want to know “where can I shop for quality Limoges boxes.” And where would be the best place to buy a genuine Limoges box?
Where is the Best Place to Buy Limoges Boxes?
The quick and short answer is, online! But not all online Limoges stores offer the same level of products and the difference between quality and selection can be vast.
Whether you are looking to purchase only a single Limoges box as a special gift or you are an avid collector and are looking for the best quality and selection, you would want to find a source that offers the highest quality and the widest selection of Limoges boxes to choose from.
In order to help you compare and choose the best online source to purchase Limoges boxes, the following points should be a guide in finding the most reliable source for the highest quality Limoges boxes.
Of course, I must admit that we are somewhat biased. But it is absolutely for good reason. All the below categories are reason and proof why LimogesCollector.com is your number one shopping destination of choice when it comes to purchasing fine porcelain Limoges boxes. You’re going to be in for a treat with each visit as we offer all your favorite styles and continually add newly-arrived Limoges boxes, including many exclusive and unique styles.
Extensive selection
Many of the online stores offering Limoges boxes only carry a limited selection. Some display items on their websites that are either out of stock or need to be special ordered from a wholesaler. The best source to find quality hand-painted Limoges boxes with an extensive selection to choose from is an online Limoges retailer who is also a direct importer.
As one of the largest direct importers of French porcelain Limoges boxes, LimogesCollector.com, offers a very extensive selection of Limoges boxes in every theme, including the very latest and brand new Limoges styles that come out of Limoges, France, as well as a huge selection of unique and hard-to-find, retired and rare Limoges boxes. Being able to find the perfect gift for the special people in your life with any taste or style preference, solves the gift-giving dilemma for any occasion.
Highest Quality
The quality of Limoges boxes can vary dramatically. There are various artists in Limoges. Some are of the highest caliber and others produce lower quality pieces. Some online stores and especially auction sites offer Limoges boxes that are produced under the brand Limoges with segments produced in the Far East. Such boxes are not of high quality and are not as valuable. At LimogesCollector.com, we only offer the highest quality Limoges boxes produced by the very best artists in Limoges. The porcelain production and level of artistry of such luxury Limoges boxes truly equal those displayed at France’s most revered palaces and museums.
