Antique Berlin Kpm Plaque 'Kunst Bringt Gunst on Stand 19th Century

19th century
For Sale by Regent Antiques
Description

This is an absolutely stunning and finely painted KPM Berlin Plaque after Paul Thumann's (1834-1908) 'Kunst Bringt Gunst' (meaning 'Art wins heart'), signed Knouller and raised on a decorative gilt bronze easel stand, circa 1880 in date.

This magnificent plaque is portrait in shape and depicts a candid young girl watching a graceful Greek artist while he is decorating a pottery vase. The young artisan is painting a black figure on the surface of the amphora while she is standing tall at the doorway and watching him.

Both figures dress in classical clothes and are set within a nostalgic environment reminiscent of antique ruins and of a paradisiac landscape. Indeed, a sweet and almost melancholy calm prevails. The original painting by the German artist, Thumann, just like many other of his romantic paintings, became very popular and was widely reproduced on porcelain plaques, plates and vases.

This truly splendid plaque is signed to the left bottom corner 'Knouller' and bears the impressed sceptre mark for KPM and comes with a Rococo style bronze stand.

It is set in its original splendid gilt frame displaying foliate decorations to the border and riased on a decorative gilt bronze easel stand.

Add this splendid antique plaque to a very special wall in your home.

Condition:

The plaque, the gilded frame and the easel are all in excellent condition, please see photos for confirmation.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

KPM, standing for Konigliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin, produced hand-painted ceramic panels throughout the 19th century, renowned for precise enamelling and depictions of classical, narrative, or mythological imagery.

These decorative items were created using a white hard-paste porcelain tile painted with mineral enamels, kiln-fired at high temperatures, and mounted into gilded bronze, brass, or carved wood frames with integrated support stands.

Authentic KPM plaques typically bear an impressed sceptre mark alongside the letters K.P.M. and dimension numbers stamped into the reverse of the porcelain tile, often accompanied by artist signatures on the painted side.

An antique porcelain plaque mounted on an easel stand functions as a focal accent on a mantelpiece, console, desk, or within a modern glass display cabinet alongside contemporary decor.

Dust the porcelain surface and gilt metal frame lightly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid solvents or abrasive cleaners that could strip original gilding or enamel glazes.
