The pattern, designated G.9910.R, is among the most intricate ever produced by Mintons. The intensity of the cobalt glaze, combined with the abundance of high-relief gilding, reflects a level of artistry typically reserved for royal commissions and elite collectors. This plate would have belonged to a luxury service or been made for high-end display purposes, dating circa 1920s–1930s.
The reverse bears the Mintons globe mark with crown, used between 1912 and 1950, as well as the handwritten pattern code and decorator’s mark, affirming its authenticity and atelier finish.

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.
