A Sèvres plate, the porcelain 18th century, probably later decorated with a central roundel of pink roses within a garland and concertina ribbon border, interlaced blue LL marks and probably spurious painter's mark 'LG', 24.3cm.
The decoration bears close resemblance to that on a number of plates made for William Beckford in 1792. However, the recorded plates from that service do not have the lobing to the rim as seen on this example.
