A Pair of 18th Century Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette Commemorative Pewter Plates

This rare pair of 18th century French pewter plates have been very finely decorated with portraits of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette of France with a title to each. These remarkable pieces were produced to commemorate their marriage in 1770. They have been completely hand worked with the practice of raising, beating, and punching the detail. This would have been produced by a very skilled hand. They have been further enhanced with boarders of punched circles. These early historical pieces are in very condition with a fine rich naturally lustred patination.

French, circa 17770

Height 25cm x width 24cm x depth 2cm
