Antique Decorative Plate: Montereau Marengo

This is an antique decorative plate from the Montereau pottery factory.

This rare antique plate from Montereau pottery features Napoleon as its theme.
The center of the plate depicts a finely detailed scene from the Battle of Marengo, with Napoleon on horseback gazing into the distance.

Manufactured in France in the 19th century, this plate boasts a deep, aged texture that only comes with the passage of many years, and charming cracks and crazing that speak of its history.
On the reverse side, traces of "staple repairs" tell a story of past restorations, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship of the time and a culture of cherishing objects, which differs from modern restoration techniques.

Whether as a collector's item or simply displayed as a room accent, this special piece exudes a significant presence.

Condition: It has multiple cracks and signs of "staple repairs." Additionally, there are discolorations, cutlery marks, and chips, giving it a rich antique feel.
