Charming 19th-century French faience plate, hand-painted in vivid polychrome with scrolling lambrequin motifs and a central stylized vase.
Executed in the Nevers / Rouen revival style popular in mid-19th century France, inspired by the grand faience traditions of the 18th century.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
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.
