🇫🇷 Timeless French Elegance: Antique Limoges CFH/GDM Serving Platter

Transport your dining room back to the opulent Belle Époque of France. This magnificent oval serving platter is not just porcelain; it's a tangible piece of European history, crafted from the world-renowned white clay of Limoges, France.

History & Provenance

This platter bears the distinguished double-mark CFH/GDM, identifying its production era as roughly 1882 to 1896. This mark unites the legacy of Charles Field Haviland (CFH), an American who established one of the most famous Limoges factories, and the subsequent decorators, Gérard, Dufraisseix, and Morel (GDM).  

During this era, French porcelain was the height of luxury, gracing the finest tables across Europe and America. This piece represents the finest quality and delicate artistry of the late 19th century, a time when every detail, from the clay to the gilded trim, was a masterpiece of careful craftsmanship.  

The Artistry of the Platter

Design: The large, beautifully shaped oval is graced with delicate floral sprays rendered in a refined sepia/taupe tone, offering a subtle, elegant look that transcends trends.

Gilded Finish: The irregularly fluted edge is a showcase of luxury, meticulously highlighted with lavish gold trim. The gold catches the light, bringing a refined sparkle to your display.

Size: Measuring a generous 14 inches long x 9 inches wide, this platter makes a stunning centerpiece for display in a hutch or as an accent piece on a gallery wall.

This piece whispers of formal dinners, grand occasions, and the enduring charm of French provincial luxury.
