19th Century, Old Paris Neoclassical Cup & Saucer Set Young Man w/ Dog

About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century Neoclassical cup and saucer set represents the epitome of fine French porcelain craftsmanship, capturing the elegance and grace of an era that revered classical antiquity. The set, painted with meticulous care and attention to detail, features a tender, romantic scene of a young man with a loyal dog, evoking a sense of serenity and harmonious connection between man and nature. The figures are rendered in delicate, soft hues, characteristic of the period, with the young man dressed in a refined, classical ensemble that suggests an aristocratic air. His loyal companion, the dog, is captured in an affectionate pose, symbolizing loyalty and companionship, virtues cherished in the Neoclassical world. The scene is framed by a beautifully ornate border, embellished with gilt accents and subtle floral motifs, which were popular decorative elements of the time. The smooth, lustrous porcelain of the cup and saucer is the canvas for this charming pastoral narrative, creating a visual balance between elegance and simplicity. The fine porcelain itself offers a tactile experience of refinement, its weight and texture invoking the luxurious materials cherished by the upper echelons of society during the period. The subtle interplay of light and shadow, coupled with the graceful figures of the young man and the dog, speaks to the stylistic influence of both French Rococo and the Neoclassical revival, which sought to capture timeless beauty and idealized forms. Whether displayed as a statement piece or used as a functional artifact, this set exemplifies the artistic values of the 19th century, blending historical references with refined artistry in porcelain. Its enduring beauty and craftsmanship make it a treasured artifact for collectors of antique fine china and Neoclassical decorative arts. Measures: 5.25" w (saucer) 2.5" h x 3.25" d x 2.5" w (cup)
