Warm wood tones and a brown case give this violin box an earthy, old world feeling. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, with the case forming the body and the violin painted within.
Rosin, Bow and Brown Leather
Where its sister piece pairs the instrument with green, this version keeps the whole palette in shades of brown, much like a violin case that has traveled to a hundred rehearsals. It has a mellow, vintage music room look that sits well with dark wood furniture.
Hand Work From Start to Finish
Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand only after the white porcelain has been fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand as well. That patient process is part of why music themed pieces like this one have such character up close.
Who Will Treasure It
