Beautiful antique blue and white Delft style plate made from tin-glazed earthenware.
The plate features a traditional hand-painted cobalt design with a stylized plant growing from a basket, accompanied by a small butterfly above. The central motif is framed by decorative geometric and wave borders typical of Dutch Delft pottery.
The painting shows charming irregularities and brushwork characteristic of handmade Delftware.

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.
