Description
Dusk falls over the Place de la Concorde. The fountains glitter, the obelisk catches the last rose-colored light, and the lamps along the Champs-Élysées flicker on one by one. In a tall apartment overlooking the square, a woman slips off her bracelets after a long evening and lays them in a chest the color of the darkening sky. Through the window, Paris glows, and for a moment the room is very still.
This is a commanding piece for a collector of Penicaud porcelain, or for someone celebrating a promotion, a wedding or a landmark anniversary. With just fifty made, it is a rare presence on any dressing table, credenza or display cabinet. Lovers of Paris will feel the grandeur of the great square in every gilded line, and in that deep, velvety blue that recalls a summer night along the Seine.
