Pair of Early 20th C. W. Guérin Limoges Dinner Plates with Green, Pink, and Gold Border
Elegant pair of early 20th century French porcelain dinner plates from the renowned W. Guérin & Co. Limoges manufactory. Each 10-inch plate features a sophisticated border design of green diamond shapes with white cross details alternating with pink triangular elements, all outlined in delicate gold gilt.
These refined dinner plates were specially produced for the prestigious Gimbel Brothers department store, adding to their provenance and collectible appeal. The pristine white porcelain centers provide a perfect canvas for the intricate border detailing, creating a timeless aesthetic that would complement both traditional and contemporary table settings.
Limoges porcelain has been prized by collectors and connoisseurs since the late 18th century when kaolin clay deposits were discovered near Limoges, France. W. Guérin & Co. was established in 1872 and became one of the distinguished Limoges porcelain manufacturers, known for their fine craftsmanship and artistic designs.
The collaboration with Gimbel Brothers, one of America's leading luxury department store chains of the era, indicates these plates were created for a discerning clientele who appreciated fine European craftsmanship.
Styling Notes:
These Limoges plates would make a striking addition to a wall display of decorative plates or could be paired with contemporary white dinnerware for an eclectic tablescape. The green and pink color palette offers a refreshing alternative to the more common blue and white porcelain designs, making these pieces particularly distinctive for collectors or interior designers seeking unique accent pieces.
Also perfect as serving plates for special occasions or as elegant dessert plates for an elevated dining experience.

The second plate shows more age-appropriate wear, including some fading to the gilt edge and a small chip on the rim (see detailed photos). This minor imperfection is consistent with the plate's age and does not detract significantly from its display quality or collectible value. less
