AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant set of three trays or cups in hand-painted porcelain with a gilded bronze frame, French Limonge style.
A refined vintage set, characterized by delicate floral decorations and precious mounts in filigree metal, perfect for collectors or as a luxury decorative element.
Description of the Lot
This lot includes a set of three pieces: a large central oval tray and two small matching oval cups. The ensemble reflects a decorative style typical of 20th-century French craftsmanship, highly sought after for its elegance and richness of detail.
The Large Oval Tray
Material: porcelain with a rich mounting in gilded bronze (or brass).
Decoration: Features a glazed base in an enchanting antique pink (or pompadour pink), embellished with scrolls and gold leaf motifs. The center is reserved for a white medallion with a magnificent bouquet of hand-painted multicolored roses.
Mounting: The porcelain is set in an elaborate gold-colored metal mounting with curled handles and finely chiseled edges, adding a touch of baroque or Rococo opulence.
The Two Oval Cups (Coupelle)
Material: porcelain with a mounting in gilded bronze.
Decoration: Each cup features a central floral painting.
A cup has a glazed rim in pastel pink.
The other cup has a glazed rim in a vivid turquoise/light blue color.
Both feature a small, very delicate floral bouquet at the center.
Mount: The distinctive feature is the metal mount, supported by four footed legs (Imperial or Rococo style) and decorated with a bronze application that appears to depict a mythological face or a cherub mask/head on the short sides (visible in the last image), giving it a highly valuable appearance.
Style and Use
This set is an excellent example of vintage bathroom or living room accessories. It can be used for:
Display jewelry or small objects.
Serve bonbons or chocolates (for the cups).
Decorative centerpiece
Conditions
Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with minor signs of aging consistent with the item's age. The metal shows a natural patina (darkening/wear of the gold plating) that attests to its authenticity.
