This charming antique French porcelain plate, approximately 25 cm in diameter, possesses all the elegance of fine dining tables from the first half of the 20th century. Upon the luminous white of the porcelain unfurl generous bouquets of roses in delicate shades of old rose, raspberry, and mauve, accompanied by small yellow and lavender flowers. The particularly graceful composition features an asymmetrical arrangement that allows the design to breathe. The subtly scalloped edge is entirely accentuated by a gold rim, extended on the sides by delicate golden arabesques. These details give it that precious and romantic allure characteristic of porcelains intended for elegant tables. The reverse bears several old French marks, including the mention "France" and a mark referring to Limoges, a major historical center of French porcelain. The piece dates from the first half of the 20th century, from around . Today, it is as appealing as a decorative piece as it is as part of a mismatched dinner service. In a display cabinet, on a console table, hung among a composition of antique plates, or simply displayed on a stand, its roses and gilding immediately catch the eye. A beautiful French porcelain plate, romantic without being mawkish, whose roses seem to have crossed the decades without losing their charm.
