Beautiful antique Limoges France porcelain cabinet plate/charger, approximately 12 inches in diameter, retailed by the historic Philadelphia department store Strawbridge & Clothier.
The center features an elaborate romantic figural scene depicting a gentleman in period dress presenting a bird’s nest with chicks to a seated lady. The scene is surrounded by a richly molded scalloped Rococo-style border with extensive gold gilt decoration.
The artwork is artist signed in the lower portion of the scene, appearing to read “Rogin.” Other antique Limoges porcelain pieces bearing a Rogin signature are documented, including artist-signed game-bird plaques. Because the exact decorator/workshop of this particular plate has not been independently confirmed, the signature is being described as it appears rather than making a definitive attribution.
