Fine Pair 18th / 19th C. French Hand Painted Enamel Framed Farm Scene Plaques
Regular price
$614.00
Presented is a wonderful pair of antique French enamel plaques in frames, dating to the 18th or 19th century. The plaques are done in shades of pink surrounded by raised white Rococo scrollwork designs. Both depict charming countryside scenes, one of a woman riding a donkey with sheep and a dog nearby, the other of a shepherd woman with bull and sheep. The plaques are in beautiful gilt wood frames with rich red velvet matting surrounding the plaques themselves, with a very opulent look. The backs have little triangular loops for hanging.
These framed plaques are in excellent condition. The plaques themselves have no visible chips or damage to the enamel. The gilding of the wooden frames is in great shape. One plaque has a cutout in the cardboard backing, but there does not appear to be a signature underneath.
Each of the frames measures about 15 1/4 x 10 1/4 inches. The visible 'window' of the plaque measures about 8 1/2 x 3 3/8 inches. -jm
