Description from the seller
### Set of 4 plaques Four seasons decorative vintage oval plaques in 850 silver and leather – female figures
Elegant **set of 4 vintage decorative oval plaques**, all coordinated and embellished with refined **relief female profiles**, inspired by Liberty / Art Nouveau taste.
Each plaque features a finely worked metallic surface, with alternation of polished and satin-finished parts. The female figures are set within rich floral and vegetal compositions, each representing a season; grapes represent autumn, a bare branch represents winter, flowers spring, and sheaves summer.
On at least one of the plaques the marking **“850”** is clearly visible, indicating an alloy of silver with fineness 850/1000; an additional maker’s mark is present, along with the artist’s signature (not deciphered) partially legible in the photographs.
The back is covered in **leather colored in cognac**, with a small metal eyelet that allows hanging the plaques on the wall. The combination of worked silver and leather gives the whole an especially refined and sought-after look.
**Dimensions of each plaque:** about **9.5 × 6.5 cm**
**Thickness:** about **1 cm**
Interesting as a small decorative group for a wall, for an eclectic arrangement, a Wunderkammer, or as collectible objects.
The metal surfaces have not been aggressively polished, to preserve patina and signs of time; any oxidations can be treated by the buyer according to preference.
**Vintage condition, with normal signs of time and use. The leather-backed surface shows slight tonal variations and traces compatible with age. Photos are an integral part of the description and show in detail the conditions, hallmarks and finishes.**
