DESCRIPTION | A lovely old cast metal plaque of a sower sowing seed in the fields. This typically authentic art deco piece is framed on beautifully yellow veneered plywood within a period solid wooden frame which is dyed black. It is attached to the frame by screws. The plaque shows the design in embossing and was manufactured in Germany by MIA and crafted by an artist with the initials PL. The markings of the manufacturer (foundry) where the plaque was cast appears on the back and the initials of the artist appears in the bottom right corner of the item. The plaque with frame measures 31 x 25 cm and the plaque alone measures 19.5 x 14 cm. I am not sure what metal the plaque is made of but believe it is spelter which has been anodised pitch black. You can see the framed plaque of the sower in the image above. Look at the images below for more details and ask a question if there is anything you are not sure about. |
CONDITION | The framed plaque is in very good condition with no damage. |

NOTE THAT I HAVE ANOTHER PLAQUE WHICH SHOWS HANSEL AND GRETEL AND WAS MADE BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER ON THIS AUCTION. HAVE A LOOK AT IT BECAUSE I COMBINE POSTAGE AND THERE WILL BE LITTLE EXTRA POSTAGE COST IF YOU BUY THE OTHER ONE IN ADDITION TO THIS LOT.
