Exceptional pair of large hand-painted display plates in Sèvres-style, each featuring a dramatic 18th-century naval battle scene. The ships under Dutch colours are rendered with fine brushwork: cannon smoke, movement of the sea, detailed rigging and sails.
The borders are finished in a deep royal cobalt blue with raised matte gilded Rococo scrollwork – an icon of French luxury porcelain decorating traditions.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
