Marquise de Pompadour enchanted by the beauty of Limoges

The Marquise de Pompadour was a captivating beauty and celebrated socialite who graced the elegant Louis XV's French Royal Court with her influence of art and fashion. During this time, she played an essential role in bringing to life what is now known as the Sevres porcelain factory which remains operational today complete with its own museum.

Growing up outside of Paris, Josephine Madeleine de Richelieu was bequeathed a passion for history and palaces by her great grandmother - the illustrious Countess d' Aubervilliers. Young Josephine's pastimes included visits to Versailles and Loire Castles where she took in breath-taking paintings, luxurious interiors and decadent ornamental decor set within beautifully manicured gardens. It is there that she developed an appreciation for classic grace manifested through style and beauty.

With the environment she grew up in, art soon became a cornerstone of her lif

e -painting, poetry and music melded with my passion for antiques such as porcelain. My beloved great grandmother was an exemplary figure; she lived each day to its fullest potential with her classic French style matched only by her artistic mind. On one memorable excursion we took together to Limoges city, our conversation revolved around the extraordinary Marquise de Pompadour from Louis XV's court: a true patroness both of arts and antiques who left behind quite an impression during that time period!

adam de Pompadour was an iconic figure of her time, bestowing France with a renewed sense of elegance and grace. She actively supported the arts by commissioning renowned artists to create masterpieces for the Royal court - from architecture to porcelain works. La Reine Factory in Limoges saw heightened production due to Madame's patronage while she also oversaw growth at Sevres' Manufacture Royale . Her passion for pink inspired what is now known as Rose Pompadour; forever immortalizing this timeless fashion icon's name.

As we explored the remarkable legacy of Marquise de Pompadour, our quest to preserve its memory ultimately led us to create an exquisite collection of Limoges boxes. Each box was produced using only finest quality materials and crafted by master artisans who proudly maintain a long lineage of traditional techniques passed down from antiquity. Every piece is carefully monitored through all stages - from white porcelain paste formation up until it's painted with meticulous precision; often even molded in part by experienced historical sculptors whose hands feel the stories buried within their works for centuries past.
