A beautifully hand-painted Chinese Rose Medallion porcelain plate from the 19th century, richly decorated in the traditional famille rose palette. The design is divided into alternating panels of courtly scenes and floral motifs with birds and butterflies, all centered around a medallion featuring a bouquet of peonies. The use of vibrant enamels and gilded accents, along with the meticulous brushwork, reflects the quality craftsmanship typical of export porcelain from this era.

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.
