9 flat plates E. Bourgeois – Bordeaux and gold porcelain, around 1900

Set of 9 flat plates E. Bourgeois – Bordeaux and gold porcelain, circa 1900 Beautiful set of nine antique flat plates in white porcelain, bearing the stamp of the Grand Dépôt E. Bourgeois, a porcelain and crystal auction house established in Paris and Marseille. The decoration features an elegant combination of white, deep bordeaux, and gilding. A wide bordeaux band adorns the edge, highlighted by fine golden fillets. A second golden circle frames the basin and adds a delicate finish to the whole.
