ProfessionalProduct description
A charming testament to French dining tables from the interwar period. This set comprises three antique deep plates made of Lunéville faience, recognizable by their old mark still visible on the reverse. Their decoration takes us directly into the aesthetic of the 1920s-1930s, when French manufacturers adopted the new lines of Art Deco while retaining their long tradition of floral decoration. Against a slightly warm ivory background, a particularly graphic bouquet stands out, composed of wine-red flowers and deep blue foliage. The composition, deliberately off-center, breaks with the symmetrical floral decorations of the previous century. Around the well runs a delicate succession of small red triangles, almost like geometric punctuation. It is precisely this encounter between the stylized flower and geometry that gives the decoration its full Art Deco character. In Lunéville, faience is part of a history that began in the 18th century. Over the generations, the manufacturer has adapted to the evolution of French decorative arts and renewed its forms and decorations. These plates belong to that particularly appealing period when everyday tableware also became a canvas for graphic expression. With their approximate 23 cm diameter, they retain a very pleasing presence. Time has left them with that slight patina that is precisely sought after on antique faience. Two plates show small chips on the rim, precisely photographed. They bear witness to their use and have naturally been taken into consideration in their price. Sold together, the three form a charming small decorative set. In an antique display cabinet, on a kitchen shelf, displayed against a wall, or mixed with mismatched tableware, they immediately bring that atmosphere of French homes of yesteryear. Three plates, almost a century old, and still these red and blue flowers that have lost none of their freshness.
