Hand-hammered and finely detailed, each circular platter features a lively tavern scene depicting men and women gathered in convivial drink — a motif evocative of British colonial-era social life and traditional English pub culture.

The relief work is crisp and expressive, with depth and texture enhanced by a beautifully preserved patina that continues to glow across the surface. Subtle variations in the hammering speak to their handmade origins, lending each piece individuality and authenticity.

Stamped “Made in England” on the reverse and likely produced by Peerage, these platters balance historical charm with decorative presence. Equally compelling displayed as wall décor or styled atop a console or sideboard, they offer a layered, narrative accent well suited to traditional, eclectic, or collected interiors. See less
