Flora de Filipinas: French Porcelain Meets Philippine Botanical Heritage
Maison de Rivoli, the Franco-Filipino luxury house founded by Jeffrey Cadayong, has partnered with Royal Limoges, France’s oldest existing porcelain manufacturer, to launch Flora de Filipinas, an exceptional collection that honors the beauty and diversity of Philippine flora. Drawing from the pages of the landmark Flora de Filipinas publication, the collection showcases botanical illustrations that documented the archipelago’s plant life during the late 19th century. These historic artworks have been carefully adapted onto Limoges porcelain, creating pieces that are both educational and decorative.
Produced in Limoges, France, every piece reflects the centuries-old expertise that has defined Royal Limoges since its founding in 1797. The porcelain is meticulously hand-finished and enhanced with delicate 24-karat gold accents, highlighting the intricate botanical motifs while adding a touch of timeless elegance.
The collection stands as a celebration of craftsmanship and cultural exchange. Maison de Rivoli has long championed the connection between French refinement and Philippine heritage, while Flora de Filipinas embodies that vision through objects designed to be treasured for generations.
Adding to its exclusivity, each design is limited to only 200 pieces worldwide, making every item a rare collectible. Whether displayed as a statement piece or incorporated into special occasions, the collection serves as a reminder that heritage isn’t solely preserved through books and museums, but through objects that are integral parts of everyday life.
