The Ultimate Hand-Painted de Gournay Porcelain Dinner Service & Wallpapers

Just recently, de Gournay has created an incredible festive tablescape in their showroom in London. The tabletop is decorated with de Gournay’s ultimate hand painted porcelain dinner service combined with fresh flowers, fruits and figurines (in collaboration with florist Lucy Vail). To match and to elevate the beauty of the tablescape, the room is dressed in de Gournay’s beautiful hand-painted L’Eden wallcovering The result evokes a vivid feeling of a lush and complex landscape. This ultimate de Gournay’s festive tablescape may keep your spirit bright.

Perhaps what we need now during this pandemic is to cheer and entertain ourselves. Everyday should be a celebration on our beautiful table at home. Time to shine.

‘Flora and Fauna’ dinner service from de Gournay borrows its beautiful images of birds from the work of the renowned 19th century artists John Gould and John James Audubon. Painstakingly hand painted reproductions of wonderful birds walk, fly and swoop inside rims decorated with garlands of peonies, leaves and gold gilt. The design on every plate within a service is unique.

All of de Gournay’s figurines are modelled in clay and then moulded and sculpted in blanc de chine porcelain by hand. Glazes are applied by traditional airbrushes and hand painted enamels are then used to decorate each piece – ensuring a fine brush stroke that renders a bird’s feather as intricate as its real life counterpart.
