Width: 20cm

This striking pair of antique Italian majolica wall plates features a central relief of classical cherubs in a joyous pose, surrounded by hand-painted floral and foliate decoration in vibrant pinks, greens, and blues.

The bold relief work and vivid glazes are characteristic of majolica pottery, with the deeply incised decoration lending an ornate and dimensional quality.

Each plate is bordered with a traditional blue scrollwork design and comes with original hanging strings still attached.

These plates display beautifully side by side and would make a charming statement in any antique-inspired or Mediterranean-style interior.

Possibly dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, these decorative plates reflect the artistic heritage of Italian maiolica ceramics, blending figural mythological imagery with lush natural motifs.
