Master metal artisans crafted each dish from solid copper using hand-hammering and detailed hand-chased relief (repoussé) techniques. Over decades, the surfaces have developed a rich, iridescent oxidation patina that shifts gracefully between warm bronze, coppery crimson, and subtle peacock-violet tones.\u003cbr\u003eThe trio depicts classic literary and nature themes rooted in Near Eastern folk art. One plate features a seated garden scholar immersed in reading a manuscript beneath a leafy canopy, while another portrays a poet seated beside an architectural garden pavilion. The third piece showcases a delicate Songbirds \u0026amp; Blooming Rose Tree Motif accompanied by a butterfly, a glowing flame lamp, and elegant Calligraphic Motto Cartouches along the lower border.\u003cbr\u003eEach plate comes complete with a reverse-mounted metal hanging loop, making the set instantly ready for installation as a synchronized gallery wall grouping or as individual display dishes on tabletop stands. Their rich surface texture, storytelling motifs, and lustrous patina offer elevated charm for global-eclectic, bohemian, or traditional interiors.\u003cbr\u003eVintage Condition Notes\u003cbr\u003ePresents in excellent vintage condition with authentic, age-appropriate character.

The reverse hanging hardware remains securely attached, and the plates are free of deep dents, cracks, or warping.\u003cbr\u003eItem Specifications\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Middle Eastern (Silk Road Tradition)\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Solid Copper\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Hand-Hammered, Hand-Chased Relief (Repoussé)\u003cbr\u003eMotif: Garden Scholars, Poet \u0026amp; Garden Pavilion, Songbirds \u0026amp; Blooming Rose Tree, Calligraphic Motto Cartouches\u003cbr\u003eEra: Mid-20th Century (c. 1960s–1970s)\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Set of 3 Plates — Largest Diameter: 6.8 in (17.3 cm) x Depth: 0.6 in (1.5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Afrik Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60049627382046,"sku":"BA-0904","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/5176\/7326\/files\/il_fullxfull.8323218187_s2e3.jpg?v=1790372084","url":"https:\/\/belleafrikarts.com\/products\/vintage-middle-eastern-copper-wall-plate-set-3-pc-hand-chased-relief-6-8","provider":"Belle Afrik Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
