Brass Plate with Coat of Arms – Motto of Pau, Birthplace of Henry Iv, Circa 1920

1920 - 1940
Description

A finely detailed early 20th-century brass plate featuring a heraldic coat of arms with the Latin inscription “URBIS PALLADIUM ET GENTIS” – translated as “Guardian of the City and the People.” This historic motto is associated with Pau, the birthplace of Henry IV of France (1553), whose initials H IV are prominently engraved within the shield.

The plate showcases intricate repoussé work, with a textured background, a central shield depicting a crown, peacock, and heraldic beasts, and a decorative border adorned with repeated “H” and fleur-de-lis motifs. Its craftsmanship and historical associations make it an ideal collector’s piece for heraldic, royal, or French history enthusiasts.

Dating to circa 1930, this brass plate has a warm patina that enhances its period charm.

FAQs

A decorative brass charger is a large metal platter, historically used as a display piece or ceremonial tray, often featuring embossed or repousse heraldic coats of arms, monograms, and regional inscriptions.

These platters were typically hand-hammered or machine-stamped from solid sheet brass, with decorative motifs created using repousse techniques, chasing, and hand-stamped border detailing.

Authentic pieces feature natural oxidisation in recessed areas, crisp heraldic detailing, visible hand-worked or stamped markings, and historic motifs or mottos integrated directly into the metal.

Display the charger centrally on a mantelpiece, lean it against wood panelling inside a bookshelf, or mount it on a focal wall alongside other period metalwork.

Dust regularly with a soft lint-free cloth, and clean gently with mild soapy water if required; harsh abrasive polishes should be avoided to preserve the natural aged surface patina.
