Keller & Guérin Lunéville Antique French Faïence Plums Plate Signed Obert
This elegant antique French faïence plum plate by Keller & Guérin (K & G Lunéville) dates to circa 1900 in the Art Nouveau era. Hand-painted and signed “Obert” on the front, each plate features richly detailed plums in deep reddish-purple tones with softly shaded leaves, modeled with lifelike weight and ripeness against a warm, graduated apricot background—classic of Lunéville’s finest hand-painted fruit designs.
Both 8½-inch antique K & G Lunéville faïence plates are offered individually, bearing the authentic K & G Lunéville France maker’s mark on the reverse and rear holes for easy wall hanging or display. While the design is nearly identical, subtle background tone variations and minor condition differences add honest antique character for collectors.
🍑 Plums on Light Apricot - Beautifully preserved with no cracks or chips; only gentle light crazing on the back, a natural signature of its age and authentic tin-glazed character.
🍑 Plums on Dark Apricot - Equally well-preserved with no cracks or chips; light crazing on the back and one tiny pinpoint factory nib on the rim—charming evidence of handcrafted origins from the kiln.
✨ Collector’s Note: Artist-signed Obert examples of K & G Lunéville fruit plates—especially vibrant plum motifs with intact color saturation—are increasingly rare and desirable. Perfect for French country interiors or antique-inspired plate gallery wall.
