"Paris Porcelain Plate - Petit Carousel Factory - Late 18th Century"
A white porcelain plate with a scalloped rim, decorated in sepia, gold, and polychrome monochrome. At the center, a sepia monochrome scene depicts a standing putto, leaning against a lyre and holding a laurel wreath in his left hand, his quiver resting at his feet, the whole scene resting on a shell. The scene is framed by garlands and ribbons of foliage, accompanied by parsley leaves in gold monochrome. The rim features a wide frieze alternating small green and black stars and foliage, framing a band adorned with oval medallions, some green, some orange, containing small silhouettes painted in black in imitation of antique figures, combined with stylized plant motifs evoking palm fronds and delicate foliage, enhanced with fine scrolls and gilt highlights. Gold fillets on the edge.
