This pair of antique French Empire cabinet plates from the first quarter of the 1800s originates from the Darte Brothers workshop in Paris and is made of porcelain with a cobalt blue ground, enamel painting, and extensive gilding. Each circular plate has a raised rim decorated with a continuous gilt palmette and floral border over deep blue, enclosing a broad gilded inner band and a central hand-painted pictorial pastoral scene depicting the French countryside with livestock including cows, goats, and sheep. Red ink signature marks from the Palais Royal appear on the backs. The visible surface shows light golden wear and natural variations typical of antique hand-painted tableware. Each plate measures 2.5 cm high by 23 cm wide and 23 cm deep. These cabinet plates sit upon a sideboard top or within a display cabinet in a dining room or drawing room to bring a classic nineteenth-century aesthetic to the interior scheme.

FAQs

Operating in Paris during the early 19th century, the Darte Freres manufacture was known for producing high-quality hard-paste porcelain adorned with rich gilding, cobalt blue glazes, and detailed hand-painted pictorial scenes.

These pieces were crafted from hard-paste porcelain, decorated with hand-applied polychrome enamels and burnished gold leaf gilding set against dark cobalt grounds.

Authentic period examples exhibit finely hand-painted central vignettes, heavy mercury gilding with intricate hand-chased border motifs, and characteristic wear on the base rim.

Positioning a pair of cabinet plates on display stands atop a sideboard or securing them to a wall creates a refined focal point within traditional or eclectic dining spaces.

Dust gently with a soft dry microfibre cloth, or clean with lukewarm water and mild liquid soap while avoiding abrasive pads, chemical solvents, or prolonged soaking.
