Pair of Italian Capodimonte Style Porcelain Flower Wall Plaques in Gilt Frames

Pair of midcentury Capodimonte style porcelain flower wall plaques, each a tall, trailing bouquet of hand-modeled bisque flowers rising in high relief from a white porcelain panel and set in a slim gilt wood frame. Striped carnations, roses in cream, blush and blue, a pink chrysanthemum, violet pansies and tiny blue bellflowers spill down among softly tinted leaves, with a warm sepia wash behind each bouquet for depth. Price includes shipping!

Applied porcelain flowers like these are the hallmark of the Capodimonte tradition, named for the royal porcelain works founded in Naples in 1743 and carried on in the 20th century by Italian workshops. Made as a companion pair, they are lovely flanking a mantel, a doorway or a dressing table, and bring a garden into the room all year long.
