Could anyone please give me an idea of the value of the cake stands (one 10.5cmH and one 6cmH) and the dessert plate (23cW)? I have included photos of both stands and the plate with backstamp. I believe they are from 1891-1930 because they are W. Guerin but that’s all I know.
Thanks

Here are some of the actual selling prices for Limoges cake stands and servers !!
Very much lower than the asking prices usually !!

I do have four of the dessert plates so it makes a nice set. I am dithering about selling as I could make use of them and the whole set (2 servers + 4 plates) cost me AUD82 at auction.
Yes, I checked Ebay UK and there are lots of US listings there of similar plates/servers to mine. Much more than listed on Ebay AU, so there could be a good market here.
I’ll think about it…
Cheers!

I would agree that they likely would sell better there !! Here in the US many can be found on ebay at reasonable prices !! Just remember that a sale can be made or lost depending on the presentation !! The smaller cake stand is probably a petit four server for those little bite size sweets or finger sandwiches !! Would be great if you had three more of the desert plates then you could have a small desert set !! But at least you have the large cake stand and the smaller server !!
Since these were often decorated by amateurs it is common that there could be slight variations in the artwork !! Since you are in AU why not start the three pieces at $50. and see if it goes higher !!
Let me know how the sale goes if you decide to list them !! Good Luck !!

I’m not sure. I love them so may keep them. Certainly seems like they are not worth selling anyway, although they may be worth more here in Australia than in the US.

I think they have all been decorated by the same person, each is unique but very similar in execution. Really quite beautiful
