19th century

Sold by Gillers Antiques Ltd

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an exquisite antique porcelain plate in the Sèvres style, crafted in France at the end of the 19th century. This decorative cabinet plate features a rich cobalt blue background (bleu de roi) and is adorned with lavish 24-carat gold gilded ornamentation, showcasing delicate scrolling patterns.

The centerpiece displays a beautifully executed hand-painted scene of two elegantly dressed women in 18th-century attire, rendered in soft pastel tones. The artwork bears the signature Gayou, a recognized artist associated with the Limoges factory during the late 19th century.

While the base carries a mark resembling Sèvres, this plate is most likely a finely crafted Limoges piece, as suggested by the faint Limoges marking beneath the pseudo-monogram—a common practice in that era to emulate the prestigious Sèvres aesthetic.

Highlights:

Exceptional craftsmanship and luxurious design

Rich cobalt blue (bleu de roi) with hand-applied 24-carat gold detailing

Signed Gayou – associated with Limoges

Characteristic of late 19th-century French Rococo revival

Provenance: Likely produced in Limoges, renowned for creating Sèvres-style decorative plates for aristocratic clientele.

Dimensions:

Diameter: 21.5 cm

Weight: 376 grams

Condition:

Excellent antique condition with complete gilding preservation. Minor signs of age consistent with period.

This stunning collector's item embodies the elegance and sophistication of French decorative arts. Ideal for discerning collectors, connoisseurs, or as an investment in fine European antiques.

Shipping Information:

The item will be securely packed and shipped with full tracking and insurance. Shipping costs include handling, professional packaging, and postage.
