About the Item

Four beautiful scenes from Aesop's fables adorn this marvelous plate. It was made in France circa 1825. Each scene captures the essence of the fable it depicts, transporting the viewer into the world of these timeless stories. 1) The Fox & the Grapes (see more details below) 2) The Bear and The Bees (see more details below) 3) The Stag and His Reflection (see more details below) 4) The Two Dogs {A Hound and A Mastiff} (see more details below) The plate is a masterpiece of artistry and storytelling! The first scene portrays the classic tale of "The Fox & the Grapes," in which a fox's attempts to reach a tempting bunch of grapes only lead to frustration and disappointment. This is a powerful reminder that many people belittle and despise what is beyond their reach. In the second scene, "The Bear and The Bees," a bear learns that it is wiser to suffer a single injury in silence than to provoke a thousand by flying into a rage. This tale is a poignant reminder of the importance of patience and self-restraint. The third scene depicts "The Stag and His Reflection," a story about a stag who learns to appreciate the value of what he once considered useless. This tale encourages us to look beyond surface appearances and recognize the true worth of things. Finally, in the fourth scene, "The Two Dogs (A Hound and A Mastiff)," we see a story about how children should not be blamed for the faults of their parents. This tale highlights the importance of fairness and understanding in our relationships with others. Dimensions: 9.25" in diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $720 This plate serves as a beautiful decorative piece and carries with it the timeless wisdom and moral lessons of Aesop's fables.
