The porcelain plaques depict cherubs and romantic pastoral scenes painted with the refinement characteristic of the finest French decorative workshops of the period - each plaque framed within detailed ormolu surrounds whose weight and colour sit in perfect accord with the warm tones of the kingwood beneath. Figural caryatids, mythological figures, and floriate appliqués cover every transition point, ensuring there is no surface that does not repay close attention. This credenza was formerly part of the collection at Great Brampton House, carrying the dual distinction of distinguished domestic provenance and the environmental stability of a well-maintained private interior. This is furniture that appears in country house dispersal sales once a generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawkins Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57105709990265,"sku":null,"price":28500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6633\/8937\/files\/credenaplaques2_1_0802faae-3cc5-4138-bbfb-1360677c8424.jpg?v=1776786068","url":"https:\/\/hawkinsantiques.com\/products\/exquisite-19th-century-kingwood-credenza-with-sevres-plaques-ormolu-mounts-provenance-great-brampton-house","provider":"Hawkins Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
