Magnificent antique French ornithological cabinet plate from the end of the 18th century or beginning of 19th century with a very high quality craftsmanship
Beautiful Bordeaux red background of the borders with gilded rim and floral decoration and three medallions with hand painted sprays of flowers, scalloped rim
Central part depicts beautiful birds on a tree, painted in an exquisite way
This fantastic piece has no apparent signature, but judging from the style, the ornamentation and the incredible quality, I would like to attribute it it to an early Vincennes Sevres plate from the end of the 18th century or a creation of one of the Old Paris porcelain factories of a bit of a later period around 1830-1840, probably by Louis Marie Francois Rihouet, established at 7, Rue de la Paix in Paris
Excellent condition, tiny bit of gilt loss on the decoration
