Large Imperial Porcelain Alexander II Period Plate

About the Item

Large Imperial Porcelain Alexander II period plate Russian, mid-19th Century Height 24cm, width 24cm, depth 3.5cm This impressive 19th-century plate is an artefact of Russian Imperial history. Of circular form with a cream ground predominating, the centre is painted with the star of the Imperial Order of Saint Alexander Nevsky, an order of chivalry of the Russian Empire awarding citizens for political or military service. Set within the central star is the motto of the order ‘For Labour and Fatherland’, as well as the imperial cypher of Alexander II. The circumference of the plate is adorned with a red sash design, which culminates in the cross of the order at the bottom of the plate. The scalloped edge of the plate is gilded. On the reverse, a maker’s mark and a series of red inventory numbers can be seen, corresponding to the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg, Russia. With its interesting history, this plate would be sure to add a touch of imperial elegance to any table.

Antique Arabesque Steel Plate with Gold and Silver Inlay
Located in London, GB
Antique Arabesque steel plate with gold and silver inlay. Continental, 19th century Dimensions: Height 2cm, diameter 32.5cm Beautifully crafted from steel with gold and silver damascening, this fine 19th century plate is profusely decorated with scrolling arabesque detailing. Around the rim of the plate, scrolling foliate vines and flowers are interspersed with four grotesque masks. The centre is similarly decorated, with intertwining scrolls, acanthus leaves, dolphin heads, and swans. There are also two coats of arms to the centre, which feature crowns and gold bows above. On one of the shields, the top half features a bird with its wings spread wide, with a church building to the bottom half. The other has an angel figure to the left and a double headed eagle to the right. The joining of two coats of arms in this manner often symbolizes the joining of two noble families in marriage, so the present plate could have been produced in celebration of a noble wedding. This manner of decoration is similar to that of Spanish metalworker Plácido Zuloaga...
