A pristine collection of eight German hand-painted wax relief wall plaques (Wachsbilder). Meticulously crafted in Bavaria by celebrated wax artisan Annemarie Filzmann-Kerschensteiner at her Regensburg studio.Dating to circa 1970, this set is a single-family heirloom gifted right before the owners emigrated from Germany to the US in 1974.
Stored safely in a box for over 50 years, they are in flawless "time capsule" condition. The 3D relief details are incredibly crisp, and the colors remain exceptionally vivid.Includes an eclectic mix of shapes and tones (cream scrolls, faux wood grain, and round tondos) for an instant, ready-made designer gallery wall. One primary plaque proudly retains its original studio paper provenance label on the reverse, while the delicate paper tags on the other pieces naturally wore away over the decades in true vintage fashion.
Design Highlights
Ornate Cream Botanicals: Features elegant, high-relief multi-layered floral arrangements, wild forest berries, and a detailed nesting bird focal piece.
Faux-Wood Forest Reliefs: Intricately detailed to mimic rustic deep wood carvings, showcasing dimensional acorns, oak leaves, and forest floor mushrooms.

The wax remains structurally solid with crisp relief details along with the 3-D effect being prominent and vibrant hand-painted pigments. The original manufacturer’s studio stamp is present and clearly visible on the reverse of the main large focal piece, while the remaining pieces are completely blank on the back as is typical for these multi-piece studio sets. All pieces are from the same collection and feature their original, secure integrated hanging loops. Late 20th Century. less
