Darte Freres (?) – Cup and saucer with chinoiserie decoration, early 19th century

Marvelous cup and saucer, elaborately decorated with geometrical forms in red, blue and gold. Beautifully worked gilding, little details of Chinese figures and Chinese characters.
Possibly made Darte Frères factory, Paris, ca. 1815
No marking, but the model with the pearl rim and claw feet has been issued by Darte Freres. See similarities with item C.138-1922 in the collection of the V&A.
Amazing quality of painting

Good condition, some wear to the gilding.
