About the Item

This delicate pair of porcelain menu holders, inspired by the Meissen style, is a true testament to the refinement and elegance of the Rococo period. Each piece features a charming, enthusiastic Cherub, as if gracefully pulling back a curtain. The delicate drapes, one in soft blue and the other in pale green, are subtly adorned with pink and gold accents, adding a sophisticated touch to the design. The figurines are finely detailed, with expressive faces and meticulously sculpted curly hair. They are dressed in small garments decorated with hand-painted floral motifs, typical of the Baroque era, and wear pink ribbons around their waists. Their gestures seem to invite the discovery of a menu or elegant card, enhancing the charm of any refined dining experience. These porcelain menu holders are not only stunning collector’s items but also functional pieces that can elevate any reception table. In excellent condition, they bear the inscription "Déposé" on the underside, emphasizing their authenticity. Perfect for tableware enthusiasts and antique collectors, these menu holders will bring a timeless touch of elegance to your home.
