Bernardaud "Aux Rois"
The Bernardaud "Aux Rois" collection draws inspiration from the grandeur of French history, particularly the motifs of the wood-paneled ceilings in the Château de Fontainebleau, a former royal residence. Representative of the King Louis-Philippe style (1830–1848), the collection’s name, "Aux Rois" ("For the Kings"), reflects its royal heritage and elegant sophistication.
The design showcases intricate gold medallions and ornamental friezes, echoing the opulence of 19th-century French art and architecture. The luminous white Limoges porcelain provides a stunning canvas for the raised gold embellishments, creating a rich interplay of texture and shine. The warm gold tones enhance the regal aesthetic, making the collection ideal for formal dining and celebratory occasions.
Crafted from fine Limoges porcelain, each piece exemplifies Bernardaud's renowned craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Known for its durability and radiant finish, Limoges porcelain ensures that every item in the collection is both beautiful and functional.
The "Aux Rois" collection offers a wide range of tableware and serving pieces, including oversized service plates (31 cm), dinner plates (27 cm), salad plates (21 cm), and coupe soup plates (19 cm). For larger gatherings, the collection features an oval platter (33 cm), open vegetable bowls, and a soup tureen (2 quarts). Tea and coffee enthusiasts will appreciate the teapots, creamers, sugar bowls, and an exquisite large tea gift set. Decorative items such as relish dishes and rectangular cake platters add versatility to the collection.
