A charming set of four Italian faience plates with hand-painted polychrome bird and floral decoration in the traditional “piatto uccellino” style. Scalloped edges and warm palette typical of Faenza or Lodi traditions. Each marked “.S.” on the base, likely the signature of the workshop or decorator.

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.
