Description
Paris in springtime is a cliché for a reason. The chestnut trees along the Champ de Mars are in bloom, couples sit on the grass with bottles of rosé, and the tower rises above it all, a dark lace of iron against a pale sky. A young woman sketches it in a notebook from a bench, then, on a whim, draws flowers twining all the way up its legs. She shows her friend, who laughs and says it is the most Parisian thing she has ever seen.
This slender box captures that same romantic idea. The Eiffel Tower is rendered in sophisticated black and adorned with floral patterns, a striking contrast of iron and blossom. It makes a beautiful gift for a honeymooner, a Francophile, a student going abroad or a friend who keeps a Paris photograph on her desk. On a dressing table or bedside, it stands tall among perfume bottles like a tiny monument.
