Magnificent Polish Silver-Plated Repoussé Plaque: Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" by Wyroby Artystyczne A. Stępkowski
An exquisite and highly detailed “handcrafted repoussé relief plaque” faithfully recreating Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece *The Last Supper* (1495–1498). This dramatic three-dimensional rendition captures the pivotal moment of Christ’s announcement of betrayal, with Jesus at the centre surrounded by the twelve apostles in a meticulously rendered Renaissance interior — complete with coffered ceiling, arched doorway, and ornate wall patterns.
Crafted in premium “silver-plated metal” (platerowane srebrem) on a copper or brass base, the work demonstrates outstanding skill through intricate hammering and chasing that lend exceptional depth, texture, and luminous highlights to every figure, drapery fold, and architectural element. The original ornate beaded border frame completes its sophisticated presentation.
Maker’s Mark: Clearly stamped in oval cartouche “Stepkowski Plater KP 1732” with model numbers “15 59”. This hallmark belongs to the historic Polish firm *Wyroby Artystyczne A. Stępkowski*, founded in the late 19th century and renowned for high-quality silver-plated decorative arts.
Production ceased during World War II but was revived in 1967 in Milanówek (near Warsaw) by Andrzej Stępkowski using original pre-war patterns. The workshop continues today under family successors and is celebrated for its handmade religious icons, trays, and relief plaques exported worldwide.
