Vintage Enamel on Copper Miniature Painting | Signed R. Sarlandie, Limoges

A stunning miniature painting of a creek peacefully flowing in fall colored woods. The piece, created on a curved piece of copper, still has the most vivid colors coupled with the minutest detail painted by this master of the form. The results are, well, stunning.

Robert Sarlandie (1901–1986) was a prominent master enamellist from Limoges, France, recognized for highly detailed, hand-painted copper enamels. His vibrant pictorial works—featuring snowy village scenes, landscapes, and religious motifs—helped preserve the historic techniques of French enameling well into the 20th century. He was active primarily from the 1940s through the 1960s.

As a child, I loved going with my mama and grandparents to yard sales, estate sales, and thrift stores as we shared the love of sifting for treasures. That tradition has been continued into my adulthood and I am honored to share my unique finds with you.
