A visual symphony for discerning collectors and connoisseurs, every inch of this plate whispers tales of opulent eras gone by.

The vast expanse of the plate, stretching approximately 13 3/4 inches in diameter, serves as a canvas for a mesmerising dance of florals and iconic building structures. These patterns, set against a backdrop of lush red, deep green, and radiant yellow, are reminiscent of the lavish tapestries and intricate embroideries that graced the palaces of ancient India.

Centrally poised, the depictions of Chinese individuals and ethereal pagodas evoke images of the old Silk Route, bridging the East and West, and interweaving stories of trade, travel, and artistry. This artistic choice masterfully showcases Britain’s longstanding fascination with the Eastern mystique during the Victorian era.

Drawing its name from the vibrant city of Madras, now Chennai, in southern India, the plate is a testament to the artistic marvels birthed when two rich cultures meet.
