Keller & Guérin Lunéville Antique French Faïence Cherry Plate Signed Obert
This stunning antique French faïence cherry plate was hand-painted by Keller & Guérin (K & G Lunéville), France, circa 1900. The 8½-inch plate features vibrant red cherries with soft shading and depth against a rich green background, showcasing the luminous glaze and confident brushwork that made Lunéville fruitware so collectible during the Art Nouveau era.
Signed “Obert” on the front and stamped K & G Lunéville France on the reverse, this plate retains two original rear hanging holes for easy wall display—perfect as a standalone accent or paired with other Lunéville fruit designs in a gallery wall or cabinet grouping.
Beautifully preserved in great antique condition with no cracks or chips; light age-appropriate crazing primarily on the back and subtle glaze wear along the rim, consistent with authentic tin-glazed faïence of the period.
✨ Collector’s Note: Artist-signed Obert examples of K & G Lunéville fruit plates—especially vibrant cherry motifs with intact color saturation—are increasingly rare and highly desirable. Fruit patterns were produced in smaller quantities than florals, adding to their appeal for collectors.
