Collector’s Cabinet Plate Gloria Western Germany Fine Porcelain Seltmann Weiden Bavaria Couple Piano
Gold and Silver Over Porcelain Cabinet Plate.
“This depicts a young courting couple. However, the man resembles Mozart who was always flirting with his students according to legends. They ladies were his muse. He dedicated many songs to those he was fond of. However, we’re unsure if it’s Mozart or not so we’re simply viewing it as two romantics.
There is so much detail, artistic creativity, and beauty in this one plate. We can understand why it was kept in a glass case all of these years. We doubt anyone could have eaten their food off this porcelain plate, because they would have been extremely captivated by the colors, the romantic story, and the design.”

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.
