A SÈVRES PORCELAIN PART COFFEE SERVICE, RESTAURATION, CIRCA 1820 |

on Nankin ground with roses patterns after designs by P.J. Redouté, including ten cups and saucers, one ewer and one sugar box, the decoration attributed to J.J. Sinsson

The photograph is quite accurate. As expected, a few wear to the painting and the gilding (especially to the saucers). Two cups completely restored. One small piece broken and restuck on the top rim of a third cup. A fourth cup (previously restored) with a hairline crack. One hairline crack under a saucer and very few tiny chips under cup or saucer feet (not distracting). Good condition overall, lovely decoration.
