French Palissy Trompe L'oeil Menton Perret-Gentil Large Orange Fruit Wall Plaque
About the Item
In the manner of Trompe L’oeil, a French Barbotine wall plaque modeled by Eugène Perret-Gentil à Menton, la Cote d’Azur, France, circa 1880.
The trompe l’oeil wall plaque features the oranges grown on the Côte d’Azur. A triangular form plaque made of overlapping citrus leaves with four applied orange fruits, one smaller green orange, and white citrus blossoms. Molded in high relief with two entwined branches that form a top handle. The plaque has the original twisted wire for hanging.
Made by one of the best known Barbotine potters, Perret-Gentil of Menton, during the Belle Époque. Generally referred to as Menton, these pieces of Barbotine French Majolica were originally sold as souvenirs to vacationers on the French Rivera, in the glamorous beach resorts of Saint-Tropez and Cannes.
