Green Victorian Boot Porcelain Limoges Box

A Victorian style boot in green porcelain recalls the tall footwear of a bygone era. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box figurine made in Limoges, France, with an old fashioned silhouette that suits a dresser or a fashion shelf.

Buttoned Up in History

Victorian boots climbed high above the ankle, part of a wardrobe built on modesty and fine tailoring. This green version brings that look to a modern shelf with a touch of color. It reads as both a fashion piece and a little window into the past.

Heritage of the Patch Box

Small porcelain boxes were the rage in 18th century France for keeping snuff, pills and beauty patches, and shoe shapes like this one became favorites in later years. Stand it on a dresser among perfume bottles, and give it to a vintage clothing fan, a shoe collector, a costume designer or a lover of period novels.
