Description
In the corner of Tante Hélène’s salon stood a tall glass cabinet that no child was allowed to touch. Inside, on little shelves, lived her collection: dozens of tiny porcelain boxes, each one a story. The strawberry from her honeymoon. The piano from her first recital. The little dog that looked just like Pépin. On rainy afternoons she would unlock it with a key she wore on a ribbon, and tell her nieces about each one in turn.
This miniature vitrine is a loving tribute to every collector who has ever arranged a cabinet like that. Its glass-case design is trimmed with gold accents, and inside are rows of tiny boxes, a collection within a collection. It is the perfect gift for a seasoned collector of Limoges boxes, a museum curator, or anyone who has a cabinet of treasures of their own. It is the rare gift that flatters the collector and teases them a little at the same time, which is exactly why it is so loved.
