flat plates – Le Grand Dépôt Émile Bourgeois Circa 1900

Set of 9 flat plates made of fine Limoges porcelain, created for the prestigious house "Le Grand Dépôt" of Émile Bourgeois (21 rue Drouot in Paris / 33 rue Saint-Ferréol in Marseille), a reference distributor for high society during the Belle Époque. This model is appealing due to its understated, graphic, and timeless aesthetic. Each piece features a brilliantly white surface, enhanced by a wide burgundy rim (wine-coloured) rigorously highlighted with a double line of fine gold. A chic classic design that integrates perfectly into a contemporary table setting. All pieces bear the double authenticity stamp on the reverse: the green stamp of the Limoges factory and the circular red mark of Le Grand Dépôt. Dimensions: Diameter: 23 cm. Height: 2.5 cm. Detailed condition: The set is in very good condition for its age. The porcelain is sound, with no cracks or chips. In the interest of transparency, we note normal and localized wear on the gold lines as well as slight patinas or minor fading on the burgundy rim of some pieces (visible in the photos). These marks of time attest to their authenticity and history without detracting from the superb design of this set.
