For sale is a really nice framed rectangular enamel on
copper plaque made in France - most likely the Limoges area - in the
19th century. A really nice little piece that is hand painted with a
scene of a gentleman next to a lady (possibly a shepherdess) in a nice
landscape surrounding. Two sheep to the bottom right, a bridge over a
river in the background as well as some buildings. The piece has a
beaded metal trim around it (not attached!) and is framed with an velvet
type cloth mat and a black painted wooden frame. Neither the cloth not
the frame are very nice but they serve a purpose. Some wear and staining
to both. The plaque displays nicely but has some odd white spots to it
where something got onto the plaque and removed the paint a bit or in
some case just lightened it a bit. The worst it one spot by the sheep's
butt. one near the bushes on the bottom left, one near the window of the
house and two in the sky though they blend in perfectly with the
clouds. Some more minor spots. Having said all this when the piece is
displayed they are not obvious and the piece looks amazing! The plaque
itself is 4 inches wide and 2.875 inches tall so a nice size. The entire
framed piece is 8 inches wide and 6.625 inches tall plus about 0.5
inches thick. I would reframe it but that's just me. French Emaillebild Emailbild
