Each piece reflects the rare savoir-faire for which raynaud is renowned: fine white limoges porcelain enhanced with a matte gold frieze, applied and finished by hand. In the tradition of raynaud’s prestige creations, the decoration requires specific artisanal techniques passed down through generations, echoing classical french aesthetics and the refinement of the empire period. Founded in 1911, raynaud remains one of the last great limoges houses still producing entirely in france, upholding a legacy of craftsmanship recognised worldwide. Their pieces are coveted for their refinement, precision, and ability to transform the art of the table into an experience of true french elegance.
arès is both understated and opulent — a design that balances purity of form with the richness of precious metal. The result is a sophisticated, timeless service intended for memorable dinners, festive gatherings, or simply elevating everyday meals into a unique and exclusive experience. Its presence on the table is quiet but unmistakably distinguished.
ideal for collectors, luxury interiors, and anyone seeking a statement limoges service from one of france’s most esteemed porcelain houses.
