Description
This delicate coffee set belongs to the French “Old Paris” porcelain tradition in the Sèvres style, produced by J.T.P. Jules Tieles in Paris in the late 19th century. It bears the distinctive “S” within a lozenge mark, characteristic of the manufacturer.
The design echoes the renowned Sèvres porcelain, a manufactory founded in the 18th century near Paris, which supplied the French royal family and became synonymous with refinement and technical excellence. This set reflects that aesthetic heritage with an Empire / Louis XVI form, featuring balanced lines, gently flared bodies, and elegant handles.
The decoration combines sky-blue and ivory-white backgrounds with fine gilded accents, complemented by hand-painted floral garlands in soft tones. Gilded spouts, handles, and finials add contrast and sophistication, while the crowned lids reinforce its palatial character.
Viewed as a whole, the service exudes harmony and delicacy. It is designed both for display in a cabinet and for setting a special table, evoking the atmosphere of early 20th-century French salons. A set with presence, history, and timeless elegance that complements classic or eclectic interiors.
