This is a terrific Vintage Repousse / Chased Copper Plate. This Nude Female Portrait, Folk Art platter was hand decorated using a Repousse hammering technique, where the metal is hammered and shaped from the back side to create the design on the front, (much like elementary art class when you would use a copper sheet to create an image). This piece is not pressed. At the time of listing I have a pair of these copper plates, sold separately, but last image is a photo of the other option if you are interested in a pair.
This Hand Worked Metal, Decorative Wall Decor has what looks like an Art Deco styled image with fantastic detail. There is a label on the backside which does not correlate with the patina of the plate and looks to be a modern mark of ownership, not the signature of the artist.
This Large Handmade Platter is in excellent vintage condition, with a super rich naturally aged patina. Please look closely at the photos to appreciate all the terrific details, as well as to best understand overall condition.
Platter measures 15.5" diameter.
