A Sèvres Porcelain Plaque, Depicting the "Palais des Tuileries, Paris", signed "Guérard" (for Bernard Guérard, French, d. 1836) at lower right, and dated "1822", with impressed and stamped factory marks on rear, 5 1/2 in. x 6 3/8 in., in a cove-molded and ebonized frame. Note: Bernard Guérard was a painter in the celebrated Paris firm founded in 1781 by Christophe Dihl and Antoine Guérhard (as the name is alternatively spelled); the firm won a gold medal in 1806, as well as a special award for "paintings on porcelain", which constituted their special pride: the head of the firm kept a selection of such plaques in his study, where in the 1820s they were to be seen "mounted like pictures."
