Beautiful 19th century Chinese export porcelain plate, finely hand-painted in famille rose enamels with lush peony bouquets, butterflies, and scrolling rococo-inspired borders. The composition is divided into four cartouches around a central medallion, each vibrantly decorated with multi-layered overglaze enamels in pink, green, yellow and cobalt tones.
A classic high-quality Canton Rose Medallion work intended for the European market.

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.
