Nancy du Tertre - The Art of the Limoge Box.

Voor de echte liefhebber en verzamelaar van Frans porselein.

Limoges boxes are among the most collected and treasured objects in the world.

Yet few people know the story behind the box. From their beginnings as the snuffboxes and status symbols of the French elite to their modern role as delightful, fun, and personal collectibles, these little porcelain containers have a history full of intrigue and innovation.

The Art of the Limoges Box is a witty and in-depth guide to these stories - and a handbook to finding and appreciating the best boxes available.

Lush color photographs bring these wonderful boxes to life.
