EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning set of plates, hailing from Savona, Italy, dates back to the 18th century and showcases a captivating fusion of Eastern and Western artistic influences. The plates, which feature intricately detailed oriental landscapes, flowers, and birds, are part of a larger collection known as Chinoiserie. Chinoiserie, a popular decorative style during the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe, drew inspiration from Chinese art and culture. These plates, which are hand-finished chromolithographs, were produced in Paris by Ris Paquots for their publication "Histoire Generale de la Faience Ancienne Française et Étrangère," or "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery." Chromolithography, an advanced printing technique that emerged in the mid-19th century, allowed for the vibrant and intricate colors and details seen in these plates. The plates depict a variety of scenes, from serene landscapes with winding rivers and picturesque bridges, to lush gardens filled with exotic flowers and birds. The Oriental influence is evident in the use of traditional Chinese motifs, such as dragons, phoenixes, and intricate patterns. The plates also showcase the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who created them, with each detail meticulously rendered in color. These plates are not only a testament to the artistic exchange between Europe and Asia during the 18th and 19th centuries, but also a beautiful example of the enduring appeal of Eastern aesthetics in Western art and design. The plates continue to captivate viewers with their intricate details, vibrant colors, and timeless beauty.
