Pair 19th c. Wedgwood Aesthetic Movement Porcelain Plaques Thomas Allen

About the Item

This pair of unusual porcelain plaques depict two young women in period dress against gold background panels. The acid etched panels are decorated with an all-over Aesthetic Movement motif depicting peacock feathers and surrounded by sheaves of wheat. The painting of the women is finely done and very detailed in a thick enamelled application. One is playing with a stick-toy doll and the other with wheat and a toy broom. Unsigned but attributed to Thomas Allen, who was the Art Director at Wedgwood in 1891 when these were made. Both are beautifully framed in relatively contemporary gold leaf frames.
