“Portraits de Cour” – Set of 6 French Revolutionary Porcelain Plates St. Amand et Hamage, Nord, France – c. 1896–1952

St. Amand et Hamage, Nord, France – c. 1896–1952 “They lost their heads, but not their charm.” These six stunning portrait plates from the renowned St. Amand et Hamage faïencerie are rich in historic flair and French court drama. Rendered in softly faded tones and transferred by hand in the late 19th to early 20th century, each plate features a noble figure of the ancien régime — including Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette — in period dress, adorned with ribbons, powdered wigs, medals, and pearls. The edges are gently scalloped with crisp white embossing or delicate gilded rims, and the backs are stamped with the windmill mark of the Nord ceramics region. These were not mass-market souvenir pieces — they were meant for display in a home of taste. Hang them gallery-style above a console table, or let them peek out of your armoire shelves for a wink of Versailles among your stoneware. 🏛️ A Rare Slice of French Ceramic History The St. Amand et Hamage faïencerie, established in 1896 in no
