Overview
This pair of hand-enameled copper wall plates displays elaborate repoussé metalworking and traditional miniature painting. Rendered in deep cobalt blue, lapis, turquoise, and coral tones, each plate features a central architectural landscape medallion framed by a scalloped border filled with bird and flower arabesque motifs. Perfect for Global Eclectic, Boho, or Wabi-Sabi interiors, this decorative duo brings rich texture and vibrant artisanal color to shelf styling, credenza displays, or gallery wall arrangements.
Cultural & Artistic Background
Rooted in Near Eastern glass-enamel craft and Silk Road metalworking traditions, these plates showcase hand-hammered copper forming combined with intricate enamel painting. The central compositions highlight regional architectural monuments situated beside water features, framed by stylized bird and floral motifs. Each plate features scalloped outer edges and a raised foot ring on the reverse equipped with a soldered wire hanging loop for mounting as wall plaques.
Condition & Surface Character
Both plates are structurally sound with intact metal bases and integrated wire hangers. The hand-painted vitreous enamel surfaces display light micro-crazing, subtle edge enamel wear, and minor fleabites along the scalloped perimeter consistent with age and traditional handmade manufacturing. The white enameled undersides show minor natural kiln firing marks and slight surface patination.
