Antique French Limoges Charger Plate Signed Romantic Hand Painted Scene Pink & Gold

Antique French Limoges Charger Plate Signed Romantic Scene Pink & Gold - truly a masterpiece! A stunning courting scene is beautifully painted with intricate details that bring the sweet country love story to life. Large in size, with a luminous 24 k gold sponged embellished fluted edge, the Limoges artist N. Roche signed the scene in the lower corner. If that wasn't enough, already, it's light pink edge takes this beauty over the top! A valuable addition to your French porcelain collection, this plate has both elegance, sophistication, as well as the charm of the French countryside.

The sweet couple, he wearing his beautiful knee britches and a jaunty vest with stripes, and his beloved mademoiselle wearing her white summer dress and bonnet, her sprigged floral over skirt and red jacket, are enjoying a beautiful sunny day in a meadow. Both have added hand enameled details. The plate is clearly marked on the underside with a red Klingenberg and Dwenger mark used from 1900 to 1910. There is a nibble to the under edge, and the gilt has a bit of wear on the scalloped points as shown. A delight for your collection!
