Intricate, deeply dimensional repoussé and chased technique. Architectural statement pieces featuring a dramatic, raised central dome bordered by a striking geometric frame.

The outer octagonal band is beautifully adorned with traditional folk and Arts & Crafts styling, showcasing alternating repoussé motifs of stylized romantic hearts, flowering vines, and detailed fruit bosses. Originally crafted to catch and amplify candlelight across historic European estate rooms, these magnificent plaques feature an incredibly bright, reflective polished golden brass finish that beautifully captures the ambient light of any space.

Measurement: 20” by 24” each. They are an ideal acquisition for interior designers, perfectly sized to flank a grand entryway mirror, anchor a fireplace mantel, or serve as a luxurious, reflective focal point above a dining room sideboard.

Condition Notes

There are small dents, several scratches, minor patina/oxidation/spotting. One of the plaques has a 1" crack on the top. The brass retains a bright, brilliant polish with incredibly crisp embossed details. Both pieces are structurally sound and exhibit the true hand-hammered texture characteristic of authentic antique repoussé metalwork. See less
