Set of Nine Minton 19th Century Hand-Painted Dessert Plates, Antonin Boullemier

About the Item

This amazing set of nine Mintons, 19th century cabinet plates depicting young nymphs in fanciful, bucolic settings are beautifully and realistically painted on a soft aqua background framed by a simple acid-etched border. Each uniquely painted centre evokes the beauty and virtuosity of the artist. Unsigned but undoubtedly painted by the master artist Antonin Boullemier, these capture the delicate allure of these charming subjects perhaps best described as "semi-divine beings in the form of beautiful maidens." Painted by one of Minton's finest artists and retailed by Bailey, Banks and Biddle, these stand alone as perfect display pieces of the finest quality. Excellent condition commensurate with age, circa 1881.
