A finely painted KPM porcelain plaque titled La Gondole d’Amour, dating to the late 19th century.
The rectangular porcelain panel depicts a romantic gondola scene after the original painting by the Italian artist Ignace Spiridon (1848-1930). At the helm, a winged cherub steers a gondola carrying two lovers across a still river, accompanied by a pair of swans in the background. The work is notable for its soft pastel tones, classical drapery, and idealised figures, consistent with the late Romantic academic style.
The porcelain is housed in its original beaded gilt wood frame with a coral mount. The back of the plaque is open to display the impressed KPM sceptre mark and incised numerals, confirming its Berlin manufacture and reference. This is a high-quality KPM Berlin plaque...
