Mintons Apple Green Gold Encrusted 

& Jeweled Cabinet Plates (16) 

c.1891-1901.

Gilman Collamore & Co.

Fifth Ave & 30th St New York

Varying around 10 1/8" to 10 1/4"

in diameter.

Stunning plates.

Please note that this is for 16 plates

not eight as shown as they would

not fit on the table.

The most accurate photographs of what

the plates look like in person are shown  

in the pictures one, two & three.

Those were taken in natural light by the

window and they all look exactly like this.

The other group pictures were taken with

a flash and artificial light which has imparted 

variations of one from the other which is 

not accurate.They are all like pictures #1 #2 #3.

These plates appear to have only been used 

for display being in the same distinguished 

family for as long as remembered by them.

In the lineage of this lady was Mayor of New York

in 1870's or 1880's. I don't remember exactly

as it's been a few years now but she showed us 

old pictures of the families grand house.

My mind was partially distracted thinking if we

should buy a great mirror she had there.

Cheers : )

Condition: Fantastic antique condition.

Appear to have never been used. 

Three plates have one to a few, light scratches on the white area 

and a minimum of wear from stacking.

Some spots of tarnish on inner gold rim surrounding white center.

Basically just fantastic.They look like jewelry.
