Magnificent antique coffee service in Limoges porcelain, signed Pailles, featuring a superb geometric Art Deco design, probably from the second quarter of the 20th century. A particularly refined set, with its pearlescent porcelain displaying beautiful iridescent and opalescent reflections. Its radiant decoration, evoking a stylised sun, combines stunning shades of blue, golden highlights, and silver finishes. The cut-corner shapes, silver handles, and play of light on the porcelain give this service remarkable elegance. Notably, all 27 pieces are individually signed Pailles. The pieces also bear Limoges stamps, including "Limoges France Unique, " a mark created in 1929. A numbered marking is also present inside the lid of the coffee pot. Composition of the service – 27 pieces: 12 coffee cups. 12 matching saucers. 1 coffee pot with lid. 1 sugar bowl with lid. 1 milk jug. A superb Limoges service, both elegant and original, particularly interesting for enthusiasts of antique porcelain, iridescent decorations, and Art Deco. Overall very good condition for its age. Some slight wear to the patterns and metallic highlights is visible in certain areas, without detracting from the beauty of the whole. See photos for details.
