Limoges Jewelry Chests were used During the French renaissance and the Romantic Movement
at the End of the 18th & 19th centuries to contain seduction and secret lovers. 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 and they often exchanged Limoges
Jewelry Boxes to show their affection. 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.
