AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Decorative wall plaque featuring an oval white unglazed bisque porcelain relief depicting three winged cherubs with drapery and foliate motifs.
The porcelain plaque is set in a richly decorated Rococo/Louis XV-style wooden frame with scrollwork, shells, floral ornaments and a gilt patinated finish. The plaque shows translucency when backlit and is mechanically secured to the wooden support with small metal pins visible from the reverse.
The back is covered in green velvet and fitted with a metal hanging loop. No maker’s marks, signatures or labels are visible.
The exact period and origin cannot be determined with certainty. The porcelain plaque and frame may not be contemporary, and the frame shows possible later restoration and/or re-mounting.
Dimensions
Overall: 29 × 29 cm
Depth: approx. 5 cm
Central plaque: approx. 17 cm at its widest point
Condition
Good overall condition considering age and construction. The porcelain relief appears intact on the visible side. The frame shows age-related wear, irregularities to the gilt finish, surface cracks and small localized losses to the applied decoration, all visible in the photographs. The green velvet backing has signs of use.
