For your consideration are Quimper Faience Wall Art, circa 1980s. Faience or faïence is the term used for fine tin-glazed hand-painted earthenware pottery made in France since the 17th century. The pottery's design reflects a traditional Breton influence. One design, which became typical for Quimper faience, is the "petit breton", a naive representation of Breton man and/or woman in traditional Breton costume. The "petit breton" became popular around 1870. The larger wall art features twelve trivet tiles mounted in a wood frame with the "petit breton" scene centered, signature "Lucile" noted to the right of the female figure. The second piece features eight trivet tiles mounted in a wood frame with floral designs emblematic of the brushstroke pattern Fleuri Royal, signature "Lucile" noted on the far right trivet tile. Trivet tiles on both pieces are mounted on foam backing, sawtooth hangers are attached on the reverse. Wonderfully and professionally made exhibiting both the artistry and expertise that Quimper Faience is known for, in very nice condition. Foam backing has pieces missing but trivet tiles are securely mounted. First piece measures 5"W x 35.75"L x .75"D, second piece is 9.25"W x 26.75"L x .75"D. Combined weight is 8lb, 10oz.
