The Darblay Family Collection of 18th Century Mennecy Porcelain. This important collection of Mennecy porcelain was formed in the 19th century by the Darblay family, especially the paper magnate Ayme-Henri Darblay (1854-1899). The family lived near Mennecy and built up an extensive collection of porcelain from the factory. Ayme-Henri published `Villeroy, Son Passe, Sa Fabrique de Porcelaine et Son Etat Actuel` in 1901. This sumptuous book is still an important reference guide to Mennecy porcelain.

No damage but the metal later.
