Description

This is an amazing set of antique Georgian gilded door plates with matching handles, dating from the 18th or 19th Century. These came from Sam Fleming’s mansion, Boxwood, in Nashville; they were originally from Europe. This superbly cast gilt set features an intricate design, beginning at the top with a pineapple, which symbolizes hospitality, followed by an elaborate design of leaves and berries, which crisscross the plate. The opening for the handle is surrounded by foliate detail and a beautiful torsade pattern. Each handle features a beautifully cast lily, followed by leaves and berries; the end of each handle is wrapped in an acanthus leaf. This set is in excellent condition. Each plate measures 2 ¼” wide and 12 ½” long, and the handles are 4 1/8” long.
