Beautiful antique decorative porcelain plate by Lefort & Co, Limoges, dating to the late 19th – early 20th century.
The plate features a finely hand-painted female portrait in Rococo style, framed by elaborate gilt scrollwork and set against a rich raspberry-pink ground. Additional floral cartouches complete the composition and enhance its decorative character.
The portrait is signed “Lefort”, and the reverse bears the green Lefort & Co Limoges factory mark, confirming French origin and period.
Originally produced as a decorative cabinet or wall plate, this piece represents fine Belle Époque porcelain craftsmanship.

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.
