Table service (31) - Softpaste porcelain - Limoges

Grand complete Limoges porcelain table service with gilding, mid-XX century (LOT 1)

Description:
Grand complete service of authentic Limoges porcelain, dating from the first half of the 20th century (late Art Deco period or mid-20th century, between the 1930s and 1950s).
This neoclassical, bourgeois-inspired service is distinguished by timeless refinement, combining traditional curvaceous shapes with an elegant gilded border on the rims (blending Kashmiri-style motifs and lace) and delicate gold floral sprigs scattered in fine gold dust across the entire basin of the pieces. The green back stamp on the porcelain attests to its origin and noble manufacturing.

- 12 flat plates (diameter: 24 cm)
- 6 soup plates (diameter: 22.4 cm)
