Fine French Pair Antique Limoges Enamel Plaques, Ebony Frames
About the Item
Very good to excellent condition for age and type. We say that in spite of the condition of the old silk velvet mats, which have lost much of the napping, because the fact remains, these are a pair of finest Limoges enamels, and remain without a bit of damage to either one. The old ebony frames are also in fine condition, needing a little more cleanup than our initial one, the photos tell me, and yet without chips or cracks, no losses. Note the very fine workmanship in those enamels, and the fact that not a single hairline or crack or chip prevents them from their 'excellent' rating. Such fine work, modeling in 3-D with the enamel powders, and just the lightest touches of gold as counterfoil to the black/grey/white of the grisaille work - outstanding!

- Condition:Enamels are excellent, each one. No damage at all. Frames are very good for age and type. The old shaped mats used to be deep burgundy silk velvet but much of the nap is gone, yet appealing for the age.
