About the Item
This refined Paris porcelain tea service dates from the early 19th-century and beautifully reflects the elegance and technical mastery of French porcelain production during the Empire period. Executed in fine, luminous white porcelain, the set is richly adorned with hand-applied gilt decoration, featuring bold gold bands, finely detailed laurel wreaths, and shield-shaped cartouches enhanced with delicate monograms. The overall aesthetic is both classical and luxurious, characteristic of high-quality Parisian workshops of the period.
The service includes a lidded teapot with an elegantly curved spout and handle, a covered sugar bowl, a pedestal bonbonnière with its saucer, a lidded jam pot, and two matching cups with their saucers. Sculptural handles, domed lids topped with gilt finials, and carefully balanced proportions reveal a strong neoclassical influence inspired by antiquity. The generous use of burnished gold creates a striking contrast against the pristine porcelain ground.
Originally intended for a refined domestic interior, this ensemble would have conveyed both status and taste. Minor wear to the gilding is consistent with age and use and does not detract from the overall harmony of the set. This is a rare and highly decorative example of early 19th-century Paris porcelain, ideal for collectors or for adding historical elegance to a distinguished interior.
