The Radiant Apollo – Baroque Sun King Plate
Apollo himself, gilded in state upon royal blue, wreathed in acanthus and fleurs-de-lis.
When Louis XIV chose the sun as his emblem, he chose well, and so will you. The Radiant Apollo looks out from a field of royal blue with the calm of a monarch who has never once checked the weather: golden curls, gilded rays, and a wreath of acanthus and fleurs-de-lis presented as formally as a court bow. Around the border, blue ribbons and gold stars keep the celestial account.
Royal blue and gold is the palette of thrones and library lamps, and this plate wears both without apology. Give it the wall above the mantel, the study where decisions are made, or a gallery wall that needs one indisputable sovereign at its center. It flatters navy, cream, brass, and anyone with opinions about symmetry.
Generous 10-inch fine ceramic with a high-gloss glaze. For hosts who rule their dining rooms benevolently and absolutely.
