Sèvres Porcelain Plate, France, C.1785, Hand Painted Garden Flowers, Basketweave Border

Rare original Sèvres porcelain plate, c.1785, featuring beautifully hand-painted bouquets of garden flowers in vibrant enamel colors. The plate’s crisply modelled basketweave (“corbeille”) border and harmonious composition reflect the exceptional standards of Sèvres during the Louis XVI period. On the reverse, the Sèvres factory mark authenticates this plate as an original work of the late 18th century. A small hole to the back was intentionally made for wall display—an elegant tradition for Sèvres plates in refined interiors.                                                                                                                               Such pieces were created for royal or aristocratic service and are highly regarded by collectors worldwide. Condition: Moderate gilt wear to the rim from age and use. Three small areas of the border have been expertly restored. Otherwise, the plate is in very good antique condition, with sharp moulding, excellent painting, and no structural cracks. Dimensions: Diameter 24 cm, height 3 cm.
