back to the Home Page Limoges Candle-Light Boxes 2 The candle-light boxes have been so popular, they are such a wonderful
gift for just about any "femme", whatever her age, that we decided to
expand our selection of them. Below you will find four brand new patterns
designed to go just about anywhere in the home; on a nightstand, a dining
table, an end table. They would even be lovely in a powder room or on
a dressing table. They really do fit in perfectly where ever you choose
to use them.
Note: Refill candles are available at $15.00 per candle.
We have a very small selection of scents and we would appreciate it if
you would let us select the scent.

NEW
Note: In doing some porcelain research recently I discovered that
"Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux" which appears above as the name given
to two of the Candle Light boxes, refers to a book written by Compte Georges-Louis
Leclerc de Buffon. It was published in repeated editions between 1770
and 1786. There were 1008 illustrations in the book, all drawn by Francois
Nicholas Martinet and they were color printed "in colours by a method
unequalled before or since and touched up by hand." I thought it might
interest you to know how table ware designers, in this case, are inspired.
My source for this was "Complete Encyclopedia of Antiques" published by
Hawthorne Books in 1962. To find out more about ordering, Click
