Add a touch of historic French charm to your walls or collection with this rare, beautiful pair of antique faience story plates (assiettes parlantes) from the iconic Sarreguemines pottery factory in France. Dating back to the late 19th century (circa 1875-1900), these plates are part of the highly collectible "Les Enfants Richard" series, masterfully illustrated by Antoine-Albert Richard (known as Froment-Richard).
The whimsical scenes depict children playfully dressed up and performing old-world working-class trades.
