A fine pair of Chelsea figures C 1770-90 bearing the gold anchor mark. Standing 6" tall they show a nobleman and woman in 18th Century dress and each holding a basket of fruit. Each is wearing a hat and true to the Chelsea potters they could almost be French courtiers at Versailles. The figures are seated on scroll gilt highlited bases which are profusely decorated with flowers. A soft palatte is used, however the figures are ornately decorated in keeping with the period. Clearly a matched pair and highly glazed the gold mark is on the back of each of the figures. The condition is excellent with no damage or chips.

A pair of Old Paris Botanical cabinet plates C1870. Nine inches and perfect these plates are decorated with a bouquet of English Country Garden flowers hand painted and set to the center on a white ground. Syuttacat@hotmail.comurrounding the bouquet is what I like to call Old paris pink, that shade unique to 19th century Old Paris and so pretty. A 2" border surrounds the center decoration and there is raised white scroll like decoration on the pink border. Gilt decoration is also used to highlight the plates. The condition is excellent, though there is some dulling to the gilt decoration. Beautiful plates and a wonderful addition to your collection.
