ProfessionalProduct description
A gentleman in a carmine red coat plays the mandolin. In front of him, a lady in a yellow crinoline dress is seated on a rock in an Italianate park. She holds a sheet of music, her head raised towards him, a smile on her lips. Behind them, a colonnaded temple stands out against the light of an imaginary park. The scene is signed "A. Renoir," an obvious reference to the 18th-century Rococo taste, that of Watteau and Fragonard, where music, love, and gardens mingled in a perpetual celebration. This decorative plate was produced in the 1950s-1960s by the Pégut workshop, a Limousin decorator who purchased blank Limoges porcelain pieces to adorn them with galant scenes and market them as decorative objects. The escutcheon mark on the reverse attests to this: "Genuine Limoges Porcelain, Decorated at Pégut." A meticulous production, intended for bourgeois interiors that appreciated fine tableware and references to French art. The porcelain itself is of a luminous whiteness. The rim is adorned with a continuous gilded frieze of floral scrolls, of remarkable delicacy, highlighted by a gold line along the edge. The gold is intact, brilliant, without wear. With its 27 cm diameter, the plate makes a statement in an open dresser, hung on a wall, or placed on an easel. It brings to an interior that classic and slightly theatrical French touch that makes all the charm of well-chosen antique objects. Impeccable condition, no chips or restoration.
