Vintage Brass Wall Plates with Courting Scenes. They measure about 14". Good condition. Both have some green coming through on the back and are dented.
Add a touch of old-world charm to your home with this pair of large fourteen-inch brass wall plates. Each plate features a beautifully embossed courting scene, depicting a gentleman and a lady in elaborate 18th-century dress engaged in a romantic garden exchange. The wide, scalloped rims are decorated with intricate repoussé patterns of fruit and floral garlands, creating a rich and textured border that draws the eye toward the central narrative. These pieces were highly popular in the mid-20th century as a way to bring a sense of European history and warmth into the domestic space.
These plates are a perfect fit for a Country and Farmhouse interior or a traditional gallery wall. They style exceptionally well when hung flanking a large mirror or placed on a deep mantle against a dark-toned wall, where the golden brass can truly pop. Both pieces show an authentic aged character, including a natural green verdigris patina on the reverse and minor dents that speak to their long history of use and display. Rather than detracting from their beauty, these imperfections confirm their vintage status and add a layer of soulful, lived-in appeal to the metalwork. Whether you are a collector of brassware or looking for a substantial piece of wall art with a story, these courting plates offer a timeless and romantic silhouette.
This set is vintage, approximately 60 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
