Keller & Guérin Lunéville Antique French Faïence Oranges Plate Signed Obert
These vibrant antique French faïence orange plates by Keller & Guérin (K & G Lunéville) dates to circa 1900 and is hand-painted with a glowing orange motif signed “Obert” on the front. Each 8½-inch plate features richly shaded oranges with soft green leaves against a mauve-to-plum ground, showcasing the tonal depth and glazing artistry that made Lunéville fruitware so collectible during the Art Nouveau era.
Back-stamped K & G Lunéville France and with two discreet rear hanging holes, these plates are perfect for wall display, cabinet grouping, or mixing with other Lunéville fruit designs. Offered individually so collectors can choose the ideal variation. While beautifully preserved overall, both plates show minor signs of age and authentic tin-glazed character.
🍑 Both plates - Very good antique condition; no cracks or chips; light age-appropriate crazing primarily on the reverse. One plate shows light browning on the back (cosmetic, common in antique faïence). Sold individually.
✨ Collector’s Note: Artist-signed Obert examples of K & G Lunéville fruit plates—especially vibrant orange motifs with intact color saturation—are increasingly rare and highly desirable. Subtle background tones and minor signs of age only deepen their authentic antique character. Explore the full Lunéville Faïence collection to mix, match, and build a timeless French table.
