Hand Painted Vintage Limogen Brooch;- Vintage LIMOGEN, France Gold-Tone Metal Porcelain Portrait Pin Brooch;- revival romantic scene Fragonard limoges brooch It is made from antiqued gold-tone metal and is set with painted porcelain showing an elegantly dressed 18th. century Man and Woman. The painted porcelain is in very good condition. The metalwork shows no signs of corrosion. The porcelain is stamped 'LIMOGES FRANCE'. to the back above the pin.
The Limoges porcelain avidly sought by collectors today was actually produced by a number of factories in the Limoges region of France from the late 1700s until around 1930. Production did not cease in 1930, however. This arbitrary cutoff date simply denotes a change in the global economy when styles notably changed from very elaborate to more basic in design. |
