Gold Hat Box and Removable Black Hat Limoges Set

A gold hat box opens to reveal a black hat that lifts right out, a tiny set straight from a milliner's shop. Both pieces were painted by hand on porcelain in Limoges, France, as a Limoges set.

Straight From the Milliner

Hat boxes once traveled everywhere with stylish women, protecting their best headwear on trains and steamships. The gold finish here feels glamorous, and the removable black hat adds a playful surprise for anyone who lifts the lid.

Gold Box, Black Hat

• Gold hat box with a removable black hat
• Fits a hat, fashion or vanity collection
• Pairs with purse, shoe and perfume pieces

A Crowning Touch for the Vanity

This makes a lovely present for a hat collector, a milliner, a Kentucky Derby fan, or a friend who never leaves the house without the perfect accessory. Set it on a vanity, a closet shelf among real hat boxes, or a dressing table beside a framed vintage fashion print. The gold and black pairing looks especially sharp in a room with classic, tailored decor. Each set is painted by hand, so small variations in the gold and black give every piece its own character.
