This charming figurine portrays a peacefully slumbering baby nestled in a cozy basket, reminiscent of the fascinating traditions and practices observed by parents throughout the ages.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by skilled artisans, this Limoges box exemplifies the unparalleled quality and artistry for which Limoges porcelain is renowned. Each hand-painted stroke breathes life into the Baby In Basket Sleeping scene, capturing its realism, gentle hues, and a whimsical touch.

Incorporating this intriguing belief, our Limoges box features a delicate sprinkle of rose petals within the basket's design.

Not only is this extraordinary piece a work of art, but it also conceals a small hidden compartment, adding a functional element to its elegance. This discreet compartment is perfect for storing cherished keepsakes or tokens symbolizing the love and joy of early parenthood. Inside, you'll discover a miniature scroll revealing a fascinating tidbit: in ancient Rome, babies were cradled in wicker baskets known as "cunae," often suspended from the ceiling to safeguard them from rodents.

This thoughtful feature not only underscores the practicality of our Limoges box but also surprises and delights admirers with its unique allure. The fusion of form, function, and historical curiosities makes this piece an extraordinary and captivating addition to any refined home or nursery.
