About the Item

This remarkable 19th-century Old Paris gilt porcelain cup and saucer set embodies the timeless elegance and sophistication of French porcelain artistry from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The set features a graceful and refined design, highlighted by the vibrant, hand-painted floral motifs that seem to burst with life. These delicate flowers, often in soft, pastel shades, are carefully arranged across the porcelain surface, evoking a sense of natural beauty and a celebration of the bountiful flora that inspired the Rococo and Neoclassical decorative arts of the period. The gilded accents that frame the edges of the cup and saucer add an opulent touch, providing a striking contrast to the floral designs. The fine gold detailing, applied with precision and finesse, highlights the craftsmanship of the period, accentuating the curves and delicate features of the porcelain. The luxurious gilding creates a radiant finish that enhances the porcelain’s sheen, adding an extra layer of elegance and grandeur to the set. The smooth, ivory-white porcelain itself is of the highest quality, its finish gleaming with a soft, lustrous sheen that exemplifies the exquisite material and expert firing techniques of Old Paris porcelain. The sculptural curves of the cup and saucer, paired with the fluid brushwork of the floral decoration, reflect the delicate balance of form and function that was a hallmark of French porcelain design during this period. The set’s understated elegance, combined with the rich gilded borders and vibrant floral imagery, evokes the height of refinement and taste, capturing the essence of 19th-century French luxury. It remains a timeless treasure, offering collectors and connoisseurs a window into the opulent world of Old Paris porcelain, with its harmonious blend of natural beauty, intricate design, and artistic mastery. Ideal for display or as a functional piece in a collector’s cabinet, this set remains a symbol of French craftsmanship and the decorative artistry that flourished during a golden age of porcelain production.
