Gold Handled Burgundy Urn Limoges Box by Rochard

Deep burgundy and a gold handle give this Rochard urn the look of a formal vase from a French chateau. The classic shape was sculpted in porcelain and painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Chateau Elegance in Miniature

Urns have graced French gardens and drawing rooms since the days of Louis XIV, standing on mantels, pedestals and garden walls. Rochard brings that tradition down to a scale that fits in the hand, keeping the graceful profile and adding gold for a finishing flourish against the rich wine red.

Traditional Rooms

This piece suits a formal living room mantel, a dining room console, or a display cabinet filled with antique china. It looks especially fine next to dark wood furniture and brass candlesticks. Give it as a housewarming present for a traditional home, to a collector of classic French forms, or to someone who decorates in burgundy and gold.

From Kaolin to Cabinet

The white kaolin clay found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768 is what made Limoges a porcelain town in the first place.
