This collection of French porcelain plates evokes old Parisian trades, immortalized in time. Each plate represents an emblematic trade, starting with the sebile merchant, inspired by a lithograph by Carle Vernet from the collection "Cris de Paris". Also featured are the water carrier, an essential figure in everyday Parisian life, and the baked pear merchant, adding a gourmet touch to the series. The ragpicker, a symbol of resourcefulness, rubs shoulders with the walnut merchant, evoking the flavors of yesteryear. Finally, the iron seal merchant completes this lively picture of traditional trades, which bear witness to a bygone era and a typically Parisian art de vivre. These pieces are not just decorative, they tell the story of a city and its craftsmen.
This vintage/antique piece is in near original condition. It may show minimal traces of use.
