Vintage Romantic Poets & Artists Stone Relief Plates

This listing offers a choice between two masterful examples of stone relief artistry, each capturing a different facet of classical sentiment and literature. These plates are crafted from a heavy, marbled composite stone—reminiscent of traditional Jasperware or Incolay—where the natural swirling of the minerals creates a unique, atmospheric backdrop for the raised, matte-finished sculptures. Each plate is 10"

Choice 1: Frances Taylor Williams "Daddy and I" (Blue) This serene deep-blue plate (No. 3827) features a tender father-and-child scene inspired by a sentimental poem on the reverse. The midnight-blue stone provides a dramatic, moody contrast to the delicate ivory-toned figures, making it a sophisticated addition to a library or study.

Choice 2: Roger Akers "I Stood Tiptoe" (Brown - 1983) Part of the "Romantic Poets" series, this plate (No. 0632) brings John Keats' poetry to life. The brown and cream marbled stone depicts a maiden in a woodland setting, standing on tiptoe as described in Keats' famous verse. This piece includes its original Certificate of Authenticity, perfect for the collector of literary artifacts.

Both pieces are ideal for a Dark Academia or Gothic Revival interior, where the intersection of poetry, art, and natural stone can be fully appreciated. They function beautifully as wall art or as substantial display pieces on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes.

These pieces are vintage, over 40 years old.
