BOTH NOW SOLD.
I have two of these old Art Deco Plaster Wall Plaques in my Store - they are matching items - the same image, facing in the same direction of each plaque - so not a pair - but two identical plaques.
THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE PLAQUE ONLY.
These plaques are not reproductions - and not modern plasters made from older moulds - these are original Art Deco items - from my own collection and I have owned them for many, many years now.
They take the form of a thick slab - as photographed and the decoration has been all hand painted. Being made of plaster there is a certain fragility to them - so they are in pretty good antique condition. I think they must date to the 1930s.
The colours are original to each plaque - and the colours are very much of the period. The outlines of the composition and some of the details are made up of intaglio lines - and you can see how they are indented into the plaster on close-up inspection.
The mage shows a stylised reindeer standing in a pasture - there are two small trees to each side of the deer and he reaches up to remove a couple of juicy leaves from the top branches.
I have taken a lot of images for your inspection.
Please note - I have photographed the pair that I have together - if you have any preference to the one you would like posted to you - please indicate. But this listing of for ONE PLAQUE ONLY. If you were interested in the pair - I could do a small discount for you on the two.
I cannot find any other plaques like this. The plaque would look fabulous on display on a plate stand on a bureau - or hung as a little artwork on your wall.
Dimensions: The height is 13 inches. The width is 11 1/2 inches and the depth is just under 3/4 inch.
Each plaque had old green baize on the back - this was rather tatty - and I have replaced it with new thick emerald felting - again as photographed.
Lovely items for display in an Art Deco interior.
It will cost £10 to post to you with Royal Mail or Parcelforce - so that they can be packed up very securely to keep safe in transit. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
