Limoges Jewelry Chests
Limoges Jewelry Chests:
During the French renaissance and the Romantic Movement at the End of the
18th & 19th centuries, seduction and secret lovers were the most important
subject of conversation & gossips in Paris. Elegant women as well as
distinguished men had a common practice of having love affairs hidden in
love nest apartments in the city of Love, Paris. In view to appeal the
generosity of their lovers, French women were buying Limoges Jewelry chests
for their bedroom as a conversation Master piece, (Their individual size is
from 8 ½ inches wide X 6 ½ inches deep X 5 inches high for the smallest to
11 ½ ' wide X 8 inches deep X 6 ½ inches high for the largest piece)
displayed close to the bed, and made clear remarks that they will need more
jewelry to fill up their chest, if their lovers want to keep their sexual favors.
