19th Century Choisy-le-Roi Hand-Painted Floral Tea Service/ 19世紀法國 Choisy-le-Roi 手繪花卉描金下午茶組
Emerging in eighteenth-century France, Rococo celebrated graceful curves, flowing scrollwork, shell motifs, and abundant floral decoration. Its elegant aesthetic soon spread across Europe and became one of the defining influences on nineteenth-century porcelain.
Founded in the late eighteenth century, Choisy-le-Roi was among France’s distinguished porcelain manufacturers. Inspired by the popularity of Meissen, the factory embraced the romantic German Floral Bouquet style, combining hand-painted roses, cornflowers, daisies, and wildflowers into soft, natural compositions enriched with delicate gilding.
This complete tea service includes a teapot, covered sugar bowl, cream jug, two cups with matching saucers, and its original serving tray. The finely painted floral decoration, intricate Rococo gilding, and harmonious design remain beautifully preserved. As complete tea services rarely survive intact after more than a century of use, examples such as this are especially appreciated by collectors for both their craftsmanship and rarity.
十八世紀興起於法國的洛可可(Rococo),以流暢曲線、卷草紋、貝殼元素與繁盛花卉聞名,優雅而細膩的裝飾風格,很快便風靡整個歐洲,並深深影響十九世紀的瓷器藝術。
創立於十八世紀末的 Choisy-le-Roi,是法國歷史悠久的瓷器製造商之一。受到當時德國 Meissen 裝飾藝術的影響,作品常採用經典的德國花束式(German Floral Bouquet)構圖,以玫瑰、矢車菊、雛菊與野花交織出層次豐富的花卉彩繪,再搭配細膩的手工描金,展現法式優雅與德國裝飾美學的融合。
這組下午茶組完整保留茶壺、糖罐、奶盅、雙杯雙盤及托盤,花卉彩繪、洛可可描金與整體器型相互呼應,完整呈現十九世紀歐洲下午茶文化的精緻樣貌。歷經百餘年仍能成套留存,更為這組作品增添難得的收藏價值。
