Rare Paris Porcelain Plate - Manufacture Du Petit Carousel - Late 18th Century

Circular hard porcelain plate with a scalloped edge. White background decorated with a central circular medallion, surrounded by a thin gold border, adorned in sepia monochrome with a lively rustic interior scene: two men playing cards, while a woman sits near a fireplace, in a room furnished with sobriety (fireplace, staircase, chairs). This scene evokes genre engravings or intimate compositions inspired by the Dutch masters of the 17th century. The medallion is encircled by a fine garland of golden bindweed. The rim, with a pale pink background, is divided into alternating compartments, mixing: geometric diamond patterns, some in trompe-l'oeil in marquetry or star style, polychrome rocaille arabesques enhanced with gold borders, punctuated by small patterns suspended in the manner of stylized tassels. This decorative set is part of the so-called "Salembier" style, characteristic of the end of the 18th century. Gold rim on the edge.
