Boites Classique et Parfum 6 Many months ago, when I first saw this particular bevy of boxes, I was
struck by the lushness of the coloring and the excitement of the designs.
Although these are all classic boxes in essence, they had a new feeling
to them; they were more exciting than the usual classic boxes. Take a
look and see if you don't agree. I think you, too, will find them exciting
and want to add to your own collection of the classics. You do have some
classics, don't you? FF. The Baroque
Keepsake Box third edition. The shape
of the box is identical to our Victorian Keepsake boxes but the decor
is dramatically changed. Notice that the cartouche is done in Rococo
and
is bolder than the light and airy ones used in the Victorian style boxes.
Rococo was actually a phase of Baroque styling which first became
popular
during the reign of Louis XIV. It was the final phase of Baroque and
also overlapped with the Règence period of decoration. When I think
of Baroque or Rococo I always think "full blown". Everything was ripe,
lush, almost heady. That was the nature of the period. Notice how
pronounced is the
feeling of fullness, both in the depth of the relief and the colors used.
Inside a detail of the bluebells and the clasp, an intricate flower.
Retail:

GG. The Fluted Bombé Chest. A quite small bombé done in a light
hearted manner with the reserve filled with a fruit display and cameos
of fruit around the base. The feeling of this piece is light and gay.
The clasp, a bunch of grapes. Retail: About $175.00. Our price: $157.90.
NEW A charmer if ever there was one.
HH. The Gift Box with a gift inside. I was looking for a gift
box, we haven't had one in quite some time. When I saw this one I knew
heaven meant it just for us. It looks like a confection with the tiny
dimensional flowers on top, everything in pink and white. And then, you
open it, and surprise!, a minuscule bouquet of flowers in a vase, dimensional
and removable. Retail: About $195.00. Our price: $175.90. NEW and isn't
it wonderful!
II. Elayne's Favorite Box. I never tire of this box and neither
do our customers, so here it is again. Would you believe that we have
been running this box for just about 5 years now? A soft yellow ground
with a light and airy display of flowers inside and outside. The lid is
white porcelain on the inside with the floral design repeated. The rest
of the interior is gold washed. This is our famous seven- sided box. Posies
for the clasp. Retail: About $195.00. Our price: $175.90. What is there
to say after I say it is my longtime favorite?
Sorry, the following item is no longer
available. KK. The Everlasting Spring Box. Come winter on a dark and dingy
day this is the box you will want to own. The bright sunshine yellow
of
the ground and gorgeous deep pink tulips and the charm of tiny nemesia
all bring instant spring to your life.This is what I call a "feel good"
box. Every time I look at it I can feel myself starting to smile. Inside
a cluster of nemesia and a posy for the clasp. By Rochard, this is part
of their Rehaussé Main Collection. Retail: About $225.00. Our price: $202.90.
NEW and a delightful forcast of the spring to come.
