Designed by French artist André Restieau, the vibrant center graphic is crafted to mimic the famous stained-glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral in France. The colorful center illustrates the three Magi presenting gifts to the infant Jesus and Mary.

The estimated retail value of the 1979 D'Arceau-Limoges "L'Adoration des Rois" collector plate typically ranges between $5 and $25 USD.
Because large quantities of late-20th-century collector plates were produced, their market value relies heavily on completeness and condition:
Plate Only ($5 – $12 USD): A standalone plate in excellent condition generally sells on the lower end of the spectrum.
Complete Set ($15 – $25 USD): The plate achieves its highest value when it is accompanied by its original styrofoam box, Certificate of Authenticity (COA), and the original historical inserts
