Description

Ah, Sunday. Madame Dubois has finished her shopping, read her letters and fed the canary, and now she sinks into her favorite pink armchair with a sigh of pure satisfaction. Her shoes come off. Her feet go up. Through the open window drift the sounds of the street market packing up below: the clatter of crates, a radio playing an old chanson, a child calling for a dog. She closes her eyes and decides that nothing else needs doing today.

This is a delightful gift for a woman who has earned a good rest: a new retiree, a busy mother or a friend who loves pink and all things French. It looks charming on a bedside table, a bookshelf beside a stack of novels or a dresser in a pretty bedroom. Collectors of figural pieces will be pleased to find the first number in the edition.

The details

  • A French woman seated comfortably in a big pink chair
  • A limited edition of 750 pieces, this one number 1
  • The chair opens to a compartment for a tiny treasure
  • Lively, feminine colors with plenty of personality
  • Each piece hand-painted in Limoges

Give it to someone who deserves to put their feet up, along with strict instructions to do exactly that. It is a celebration of the art of doing nothing, French style. Madame Dubois would raise her teacup in approval.
