A circa 1880 masterpiece of a young couple feeding doves. This is a superb example of a 19th century unmarked Sèvres hand painted porcelain plaque. Signed by the artist R. Deniau. The motive depicts young lovers in 18th Century costumes feeding a few doves. The scene is set in the Sevres blue background with heavily applied gold ornaments. This plaque is framed with a wooden hand carved and leaf gilded Florentine frame. 
 
Very good condition. Wear due to age and use.
