Vintage Egyptian Brass Plate, Wall Hanging. Measures about 9.75". Very good condition. Has some tarnish, particularily on back.
Enhance your collection with this authentic Vintage Egyptian Brass Plate, designed for use as a sophisticated wall hanging or a centerpiece display. The plate is finished in a deep matte black, which provides a dramatic contrast to the hand-etched brass and copper-toned detailing. The central motif depicts the iconic Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza, rendered with classical precision and surrounded by a stylized lotus or papyrus fan border that echoes traditional Art Deco and Egyptian Revival aesthetics.
The craftsmanship involves mixed-metal inlays, often referred to as Cairo ware, where silver or copper tones are used to highlight specific architectural and natural elements. This piece is an excellent choice for world travel enthusiasts, fans of ancient history, or as a unique housewarming gift for a bohemian or eclectic home. Its substantial size and intricate border make it a standout focal point on a gallery wall or displayed on a plate stand. While the front remains in beautiful display condition, the back shows authentic age-related tarnish, confirming its vintage origin.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
