Part of The Royal McLean Mansion Downsized: Property of a Princess · Furniture & Decor · Lalique · Rugs · Fine Art (live auction by Prime Auction Solutions)

Status: Sold

A decorative set of four gilt-bordered porcelain display plates, each centered with a romanticized figural portrait reserve after late-19th-/early-20th-century genre imagery. Each plate is finished with a wide, matte-gold band enriched with scrolling foliate ornament, framing a crisp white inner ring and a full-color central scene. The subjects vary across the set and include children posed in outdoor light, a single child reading, a domestic interior with a seated figure and child, and a trio of girls gathered with a small animal—compositions rendered with soft tonal modeling and a painterly, period-inspired palette. The plates appear intended for cabinet or wall presentation rather than service, with the decorative program emphasizing the contrast of gilded borderwork against luminous portrait centers. The consistent rim treatment suggests a coordinated series assembled for display as a group. Dimensions: not provided. Bid per piece, final bid x 4
