Large French Hand Painted Paris Porcelain Charger Depicting the Battle of Tolbiac, Circa 1890

An impressively large scale hand painted porcelain charger produced by the renowned Paris Porcelain Factory, France, dating to the late 19th century, circa 1890.

The charger is exquisitely decorated with a richly detailed historical scene depicting the Battle of Tolbiac (AD 496), the pivotal conflict fought between the Franks under Clovis I and the Alamanni. Executed with exceptional artistry and imagination, the composition captures the drama of the battle through finely rendered figures, horses, and landscape, showcasing the remarkable skill of the artist.

The central scene is signed "Tolbiac 496" and bears the artist's signature, Leber J. Cheffer. It is framed by a broad maroon border, enhanced with an elegant gilt decorative band and finished with a finely gilded rim. The reverse displays a large Paris Porcelain factory mark.

A striking example of late 19th century French decorative porcelain, this charger combines historical subject matter with superb hand painted craftsmanship. It would make an outstanding addition to any collection of fine European porcelain or historical decorative arts.
