Antique Sèvres Style Porcelain Plaque, Giltwood Frame

Whispering of l’amour and the opulence of 18th-century France, this exquisite hand-painted porcelain plaque captures the timeless charm of a fluttering cherub surrounded by delicate blossoms and clouds of pale pink and blue. Encircled by a ribbon of powder-blue with gilt flourishes and framed in a lavishly gilded oval frame, it evokes the gilded salons of Versailles and the romance of the French Rococo era.

Likely created in the early 20th century in the Sevres style, pieces like this were inspired by the artistry of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour’s era, when cherubs and garlands graced everything from snuff boxes to grand chateau walls. Today, it remains a quintessential French accent—perfect for a salon wall, boudoir vignette, or a romantic gallery wall of antique treasures.
