Description
Candlelight, a silk shawl, and the faint music of a string quartet drifting up from the ballroom below. Before descending, Comtesse Isabelle sat for a moment at her dressing table. Among the silver brushes and the jewellery case stood a slender egg of green and gold, its surface covered in delicate flowers. She opened it, lifted out the tiny bottle within and touched a single drop of orange blossom to her throat. Then she straightened her shoulders and went down to dance.
This Rochard egg carries that same elegance, its green and gold body covered in intricate floral patterns, with a small bottle held inside. It is a beautiful gift for a perfume lover, an egg collector, a bride on her wedding day or a mother who appreciates fine things. On a vanity or a bathroom shelf beside a tray of rings, it adds a jewel-like touch of colour.
