Description

Tucked away in a drawer of her great-aunt’s writing desk, Isabelle found a bundle of letters tied with faded ribbon. They were written in violet ink, full of news about gardens, weddings and a ball in Vichy where someone had worn blue silk. Pressed between two pages was a single pink rose, dry as paper, still faintly fragrant after all these years. She read every letter that afternoon and wept a little at the last one. She kept the rose, of course, and wondered who had given it.

This vintage egg carries that same tender, old-world romance. Its blue surface is painted with delicate blue and pink roses, and the lid opens to reveal a petite interior. Give it to a mother, a grandmother, a bride or a collector of decorative eggs, and it looks lovely on a dressing table beside a silver hairbrush or among family photographs. Use it to keep an heirloom ring, a locket or a single pressed petal. The soft palette suits pastel bedrooms and antique furniture alike.
