Description
Round and round the carousel turned in the Jardin du Luxembourg, painted horses rising and falling, a gold spiral of lights wound around the central pole. A little girl in a blue coat reached for the brass ring again and again, and every time she missed she laughed harder. Her mother, watching from a bench, thought she had never seen anything so lovely as that spinning blur of blue and gold.
This box has the same sense of motion. Its blue floral pattern swirls outward in a spiral, drawing the eye around and around, while delicate gold embellishments on the lid add a touch of shimmer. Round and compact, it suits a dressing table, a bedside table or a desk, and it makes an elegant home for a signet ring, a few studs or a daily pill. It is a refined gift for a birthday, a thank-you or a milestone, and it pairs beautifully with blue and white porcelain already on display. In candlelight the gold seems to move along the spiral. Collectors of blue porcelain will find it a natural companion.
