Wall plate (2) - patina - Ancient German historicism

Set of antique German brass wall plates, circa 1900, estimated value between 300 and 600 EUR. These plates are an example of the German historicism style, a movement from the late 19th century that revived historical motifs, notably from the Baroque and Renaissance periods. The relief work depicts scenes from the famous German literary work Der Trompetten von Sachingen.

Made of brass, these plates feature lavish beaded moulding decorated with angel motifs, characteristic of the decorative arts during the Wilhelmine era.

Collectors value these pieces for their complex relief work, cultural significance in German literature, and their decorative potential as a pair.

The market value is influenced by the condition of the metal, the clarity of the relief casting, and the preservation of the original patina, which adds depth to the intricate details.

No restoration needed, only a nice clean, in good condition. Make offers at value; on silly offers nothing will be shipped.
