A Day with Marie Antoinette by Hélène Delalex – Step into the world of Marie Antoinette with this richly illustrated book, written by Hélène Delalex, an expert curator at the Château de Versailles. Drawing on letters, rare artworks, and private collections, it offers an intimate look at the queen’s life beyond the myths – revealing her tastes, relationships, and the real woman behind the crown.
A pair of earrings from Gas Bijoux – A Marie Antoinette Box wouldn’t be complete without an elegant piece of jewelry. These gold-plated earrings by Gas Bijoux are a playful nod to the talismans the queen loved, each set with a genuine amethyst stone. Light and eye-catching, they bring a touch of royal French flair to any outfit. Each Box includes one of the three colors.
A powdered blush by T. LeClerc – A soft flush worthy of a queen. This French blush by T. LeClerc brings a radiant glow, reminiscent of the powdered cheeks once seen at Versailles. Each Box includes one of the two flattering shades – a modern take on the romantic look Marie Antoinette made iconic.
A pair of handmade plates from Chiticris – Inspired by the delicate porcelain of Versailles, these handcrafted plates bring a touch of royal charm to your home. The small plate is perfect for holding jewelry on your bedside table, while the medium plate is ideal for organizing small items on the top of your dresser – both adding a piece of Marie Antoinette’s world to your home. Please note that the plates cannot be washed in a dishwasher.
A pochette by Bazar Atelier Sablon – A nod to the queen’s love of beautiful fabrics and refined details, this cotton pochette by French brand Bazar Atelier Sablon adds a playful yet practical touch to your day. Perfect for holding makeup, accessories, or keepsakes, it slips easily into a handbag or suitcase. Each Box includes one of the two exclusive designs.
A rose damas soap from Château de Versailles – This royal rose scent was inspired by the tapestries of Marie Antoinette’s bedchamber. Its elegant packaging and delicate fragrance offer an upgrade to a daily ritual that feels lifted from the morning routines of the queen. Whether used or simply admired, the soap brings a hint of Versailles’ purity into your space.
An antique pill box – In each Box, we always include unique, antique pieces that we source from ‘antiquaires’ around France. For this collection, Sharon has hand-selected antique pill boxes – just the kind of tiny treasure you might have found on a lady’s dressing table at Versailles. Use yours to hold rings, earrings, or even a pinch of dried flowers. No two are alike, making each one a collectible piece of history.
A print by Joanna Maclennan – We’re delighted to share the second of four exclusive prints by photographer Joanna Maclennan, who captures the beauty in everyday objects and quiet moments. This print features authentic 18th-century shoes resting on antique linens – a romantic tableau that evokes the refined elegance of Marie Antoinette’s private life.
