Pair of Italian Capodimonte Painted Porcelain Plaques

About the Item

Each Capodimonte porcelain plaque in this pair portrays a famous episode from Roman history: The Rape of the Sabines. The scene on each plaque, realised through painted bas-relief, is heavily populated with highly active figures. Each plaque is held within an exceptionally ornate octagonal frame: the frame is mounted with elaborate gilt bronze elements and inset with a variety of stones, including lapis lazuli and agate. The duo, from the softly painted scenes to the beautiful frames, form a remarkable pair.

  • 19th Century KPM Porcelain Plaque of the Queen of Prussia
    By KPM Porcelain
    Located in London, GB
    This beautiful antique porcelain plaque exhibits the fine quality of craftsmanship and artistry that the prestigious Berlin porcelain manufactory, KPM, is renowned for. The plaque is delicately painted with the full-length portrait of Duchess Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1776-1810), Queen of Prussia and wife of King William III (1770-1840).

The plaque is signed to the lower right by the artist 'Emile Eckhart', who worked for KPM. It is painted after a famous work by celebrated German artist Gustav Karl Ludwig Richter...
