Limoges Boxes and Breast Cancer Awareness

National Breat Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), which is in October, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010.  NBCAM serves the Breast Cancer community through public service units, medical professionals, and government groups, to educate and provide solutions for prevention and treatment of this cancer.

Many companies and organizations have gone to great lengths to aid in the efforts of breast cancer awareness and research.   The efforts of various entities such as M&M candies, Everlast boxing gloves, and Estee Lauder cosmetics, to draw attention to this cause with "pink products", has had a great impact for breast cancer treatment, being the most common cancer in women worldwide.  It has certainly been proven that the breast cancer awareness movement has been incredibly beneficial for cancer patients and cancer care.

The Limoges Factory, a Misconception!

Many gift-buyers and even collectors are of the belief that there is a singular factory called "Limoges."  We are regularly asked such a questions as: "Has Limoges made such a model" or "Is this box produced by Limoges".  The inquirer is always surprised to hear that there is no singular "Limoges" factory!

Limoges boxes are produced throughout the Limoges region in central France. There are a few well-known factories still in existence in Limoges.  But mainly, Limoges boxes are produced by various artisans in small workshops.  The original method is preserved as when the production of Limoges porcelain first began in that region in the early 1700s.

Although there are many artists producing Limoges boxes in the Limousine region, the quality of their work varies considerably.  Some workshops hire students as painters which reduces the quality of their products.

At LimogesBoxCollector.com, we are proud to be the exclusive Authorized Dealer and Distributor for Beauchamp Limoges, producers of the highest quality Limoges boxes in Limoges, France.  Beauchamp Limoges selects and commissions the most talented and seasoned artists in Limoges to produce their exceptional Limoges boxes.  Each piece is truly a work of art.  Beauchamp Limoges offers an extensive variety, including many exclusive models.

An outstanding example is the 4-Hinged Fortified Castle.  This magnificent Limoges box is highly detailed throughout.  The Limoges box portrays various buildings with different designs and roof colors.  There is a fountain in the center of the village.

The three panels of the village open up and the fourth, at the base, reveals a beautifully hand-painted Fortified Castle with a Knight in Shining Armor!  A Lock and Key accompanies this magnificent work of art.
