18TH CENTURY FRENCH  DINNER PLATE

Until 2001, Ken Paul Ltd. was London’s leading film prop supplier. Ken’s shop was well known as a treasure trove of fine and eclectic antiques, including the occupied coffin clock used in The Rocky Horror Movie, as well as a source for the less extraordinary. For nearly five decades it supplied props for virtually every English movie of note from Lawrence of Arabia to Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone as well as television shows including Masterpiece Theater and more recently, Absolutely Fabulous. Items #1021-30 were used in the Sherlock Holmes television series as well as a number of English movies during the 50’s-90’s. As with any business, getting on with the product took precedence, and film credits were maintained for only a few of the thousands of items in his stock. None the less, a keen eye for spotting the items in English films of the period has produced many matches and given great pleasure and amusement to their owners. Fancy scalloped triple reeded “pie crust” edge and deeply dished center. This exact pattern currently copied as “country French” table wear. 8 7/8” diameter. Rich dark patina and excellent. Reverse with blue marker K P initials in his hand. Exactly as would have been used in a Colonial American merchant class home. Have two identical. Each. XMS07-1021
