Fireback from the chinoiseries of François Boucher (1703-1770) from the 18th century, very finely crafted and in perfect condition. Splendor of the great Mughals, this plate illustrates the service of a great Mughal seated cross-legged on a carpet accosted by two figures carrying a canopy garnished with exotic fruits and surmounted by two dragons. An identical plate is presented at the Orleans Museum. Its weight is 120 kg. Bibliography: CARPENTIER H., Fireplace plates, Volume first, F. DE NOBELE, Paris, 1967, page 153, No. 356.
