Impressive large lebrillo from the traditional Fajalauza pottery of Granada, featuring a dynamic central depiction of a rooster surrounded by vegetal scrolls. The wide basin is decorated with rhythmic green waves framed by radial lines, typical of 20th-century Andalusian craftsmanship. Unlike most glazed-rim lebrillos, this piece retains its raw terracotta edge, revealing its rustic origin and functional intent.

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.
