AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
KPM Berlin - Large Hand-Painted Porcelain Portrait Plaque of an Elegant Lady - Late 19th Century
Description
A finely hand-painted antique porcelain portrait plaque by KPM Berlin, depicting an elegant young lady wearing a dark ribbon and a fur-trimmed garment.
The portrait is exceptionally delicately painted, with particular attention given to the subject’s facial expression, translucent skin tones, softly modelled hair and blue-grey eyes. The restrained colours and refined shading demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship associated with quality KPM portrait plaques of the late 19th century.
The reverse of the porcelain bears the impressed KPM sceptre mark, together with an impressed letter “H”, as shown in the photographs.
The porcelain plaque is mounted in a large and highly decorative gilt frame with a deep burgundy velvet-style surround. The frame is of a later date and is not original to the porcelain plaque. It was added for protection and display.
The main value and historical importance of the object lie in the antique, hand-painted KPM porcelain plaque itself.
Condition
The porcelain plaque is in very good antique condition.
No visible cracks, chips or restorations have been observed. The painted surface remains well preserved, with clear detail and attractive colours.
The reverse shows age-related surface marks, light soiling and traces from previous mounting, consistent with its age and use.
The later frame shows visible signs of age and wear, including rubbing, scratches, losses and fading to the gilt finish. The rear covering and mounting materials also show wear and previous intervention. These condition issues concern the frame and do not significantly affect the visual presentation of the porcelain plaque.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition report.
