Antique Limoges Porcelain Plates with Ornate Gold Gilding and Intricate Snowflake Medallion Design
This breathtaking set of antique porcelain plates is by Coiffe made in Limoges France. This set of 6 pieces embodies the height of French elegance and craftsmanship. The plate’s centerpiece is a meticulously detailed snowflake medallion, rendered in shimmering gold with delicate, symmetrical flourishes that exude refinement and sophistication. Surrounding this intricate design is an opulent, ruffled border in radiant gold gilt, featuring sculptural Rococo-inspired detailing that adds depth and movement to the piece.
The interplay of the gleaming gold accents against the pristine white porcelain creates a timeless, luxurious aesthetic that is as captivating today as it was when it was crafted, likely in the late 19th or early 20th century. This rare pattern highlights the superior artistry of Limoges porcelain, renowned for its quality and exquisite designs.
Provenance and History:
Hailing from the famed Limoges region of France, this plate reflects over two centuries of porcelain-making heritage. Limoges porcelain is celebrated worldwide for its exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous hand-painted designs. The snowflake medallion pattern has no name and is a rare and refined motif, indicative of the elegance associated with French aristocratic dining and decorative traditions. Plates like this were often reserved for formal occasions or displayed in well-appointed homes as symbols of status and taste.
Styling Ideas:
This set of Limoges plates makes a versatile addition to any collection. Display them as a statement piece in a china cabinet, mount them on a wall as decorative art, or incorporate them into an opulent table setting for holidays or special occasions. Its golden snowflake motif makes it an especially stunning centerpiece for a winter-themed tablescape, evoking seasonal charm and timeless luxury.
