Antique Porcelain Chinoiserie Plate Hand Painted by Minton England Circa 1810
By Minton
Located in Katonah, NY
Made in England circa 1810, this Minton porcelain dish is a masterpiece of English Regency chinoiserie.
The hand-painted scene exhibits vibrant colors, intricate details, and a playful spirit.
The dish shows three young boys playing on a seesaw. The boys display a delightful childish innocence.
Jean-Baptiste Pillement's drawings inspired this Minton image ( for more on Pillement, see below). The last image shows an image of Pillement's work.
The underside of the plate shows the Minton mark in underglaze blue with pattern number 539.
Dimensions: Diameter 8.25 in. x H 1.5 in.
Condition: Excellent
Price: $480
For more information on the Chinese Sports Series, see Loren Zeller's article "Jean-Baptiste Pillement's Recueil de Plusieurs Jeux d'Enfants Chinois: A Review of the Artist's Work as Source for 18th and 19th Century Ceramic Designs" in the Northern Ceramic Society Journal, Volume 32, June 20
Jean-Baptiste Pillement was a French painter and designer known for his exquisite and delicate drawings and the engravings done after his drawings. The drawings influenced the spread of the Rococo style, particularly the taste for chinoiserie throughout Europe. For an image of an item from this Minton pattern...

Danish Bornholm Mora Clock White Grey Gold 1800s Antique

Shipping special update - We have negotiated a special flat rate shipping cost to the USA with our main US shipping partner for our 1st dibs clients of only £937 export crated by air. This is price is only available when paid directly to the shipper. Message us now and we will explain how this works.
This very early 1800s Danish Bornholm Grandfather clock was peobably made around 1800-1820.
It has beautiful detail and the paint is generally good as you can see with the gold detailing turning bronze with age.
It has the usual amount of cracking and wood movement for its age but its structurally sound although needs delicate handling.
It comes with the original clockwork, pendulum and weights which may work but it is not function tested
The clock is sold 'as is' : as a decorative piece only with the original mechanism and pendulum but not guaranteed to be in working order - If you want it working we can fit a professional hi torque battery mechanism for time keeping ( +£250) or you can have a great sounding chiming mech which replays the recorded chime through a small speaker with a volume control and 8 hour night off switch (+£350) or you can choose to have you local clockman clean / repair and set up the original clockwork mechanism at your location to get it going
The battery mech change if you choose that option takes approximate 2-3 weeks.
The clock will be on our next shipment from sweden so shipping to your location may be delayed until it arrives
