Pair of 'Mongolfiere' Plates, 1955

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Overall good condition with scattered scratches and abrasions consistent with age and use. Porcelain plates each present with minute surface scratches to the recto, commensurate with gentle handling. Brass frames possibly original to design, impressed MADE IN ITALY to verso. With light tarnishing and scratches throughout. Hook for hanging appears to have been resoldered on both frames at some point in the history of the pieces.
