Aynsley "Fontainebleau"

Aynsley Fontainebleau has a very traditional, formal look, built around a deep burgundy rim and intricate gold filigree detail. The white centre gives the pattern space and balance, while the small gold medallion in the middle adds a decorative finishing touch.

This is very much a best-table design rather than a casual everyday pattern. The rich border, gilded detail and restrained centre give Fontainebleau the sort of classic vintage elegance often associated with formal dinner services and special occasion china.

When matching Fontainebleau, the burgundy rim, gold filigree border, central medallion, white centre and gold-coloured edging are the main features to compare. The online pattern name is usually given as Fontainebleau, so it is worth checking spelling as well as decoration when listing or searching for pieces.

Fontainebleau replacements are likely to matter most where someone is maintaining a formal service, especially if a plate, bowl or serving piece has been damaged from an otherwise complete setting. With a pattern this decorative, the condition of the gilding and border detail will be especially important.
