Free Downloads The Art Of The Limoges Box
First invented in Paris in the early 1700s, Limoges boxes were immensely popular that century. The small, hand-painted porcelain containers were used by all types of people - secret lovers, bawdy noblemen, even political dissidents - to express their innermost feelings. The popularity of the boxes waned around 1800 when they virtually disappeared after the French Revolution; however, they have experienced numerous resurgences of interest throughout the subsequent centuries. This volume relates the history of Limoges porcelain boxes for collectors and enthusiasts alike, shedding light on the trials and tribulations, competitions and failures of the early manufacturers. Nancy du Tertre's detailed account also draws parallels between the early manufacturers and their modern-day counterparts, including tales of industrial espionage, design theft and the competing foreign porcelain markets in Germany, England, China and Japan.

This book is lovely to see and fairly helpful, especially if you are a newcomer to Limoge box collecting. It has enabled me to find several of the boxes that i have and their approximate worth. Has a grat section on avoiding fakes that everyone interested in Limoge boxes should read
This is a great book for anyone interested in art, history, or Limoges boxes themselves. The well-written pages and colorful photos invoke a sense of the time and history behind these artistic pieces. It starts with the early days of snuffboxes and ends with examples of the modern counterparts, giving you a full scope of the changes and constants throughout the years. "The Art of the Limoges Box" is a great addition to any artistic library.
Disappointed that there were so few late 20th century boxes.
Good book, interesting information.
