Keller & Guérin Lunéville Antique French Faïence Apples & Cherries Fruit Platter
This striking antique French faïence fruit platter was hand-painted by Keller & Guérin (K & G Lunéville), France, circa 1890. The generous 11¼-inch charger features bold red apples with golden highlights and bright cherries on branches, set against a deep mauve, brown, and soft green background with delicate gold-gilt scalloped trim.
Signed and back-stamped K & G Lunéville France with “Déposé” (registered design), this piece showcases the vibrant glazes and painterly style that made Lunéville fruitware so collectible during the Art Nouveau era. Two discreet rear hanging holes allow for easy wall display as a standout accent or part of a gallery grouping.
Beautifully preserved in wonderful antique condition with no chips or cracks; crazing present primarily on the reverse—a natural signature of its age and authentic tin-glazed character.
✨ Collector’s Note: Keller & Guérin Lunéville was among the most influential French faïence producers of the 19th century. Larger fruit platters like this—especially hand-painted with apples and cherries—are rarer than smaller plates, making them especially appealing to collectors.
