Beautiful late-18th / early-19th century Delft faience wall plate, richly hand-painted in cobalt blue.
The geometric lattice border combined with soft floral bouquets represents a transitional Delft style moving from Rococo to Neoclassical aesthetics.
A large impressive size (13.4in / 34cm) makes it a perfect focal artwork for traditional, farmhouse or European-style interiors.
The glaze has developed a lovely antique craquelure, adding depth and authenticity.

(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.
