Brown Handled Shaving Brush Limoges Box

A warm brown handle and pale bristles give this little shaving brush the honest look of a wet shave kit from another era. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, standing upright just as a real brush would dry on the edge of a sink.

A Close Shave in Porcelain

The brown tone of the handle suggests polished wood, and the rounded bristle top is shaded to look soft. It is a simple subject handled with care, and it speaks to anyone who still prefers a brush and a mug of lather over a can of foam.

From Dresser Tray to Medicine Shelf

It looks right on a dresser tray beside a pocket watch and a comb, or on a tidy shelf above the bathroom sink. Give it to a groom on his wedding morning, a father on his birthday, or a young man who has just started shaving the traditional way.

Painted After the Firing

Many Limoges boxes are painted by hand after the white porcelain is fired, and their metal mounts are fitted by hand as well. That patient process is part of what separates them from mass made trinkets.
