Product Description
A refined study of movement and colour. This antique Limoges porcelain plate, dating to the 1890s and retailed by Dr. A Salvati, features a hand-painted fish scene set against a soft, fluid background, framed by a deep cobalt blue border and gold trim.
The decoration is consistent with late 19th century Limoges work, with careful brushwork evident in the fish and surrounding foliage. These plates were produced in a series, with this example one of nine different fish designs, reflecting the period’s interest in both natural history and decorative tableware.Measuring approximately 24cm in diameter, the plate presents well, with condition consistent with age. An elegant example of hand-painted Limoges porcelain.
We endeavour to provide accurate information on all items; however, as these are antique and vintage pieces, variations and signs of age are to be expected and form part of their character. Please contact us if you would like further details or additional photos prior to purchase.
If this piece could talk, it would speak of carefully set tables, considered presentation, and the quiet refinement of late 19th century dining.
