An arts and crafts enamel plaque, pre-raphaelite style
For sale is this lovely enamel plaque by unknown maker with monogramme that appears to be AJR. The plaque depicts a pensive man standing over what appears to be his upset bride. The enamel is quite painterly, and the enamel relatively thinly applied. It has elements of the French rather than British Limoge style, with a general absence of silver foiling beneath the enamel. I have seen enamels like this by Kate Eadie, so perhaps this is a Birmingham School plaque.
Condition is very good. There is one small area of restoration and cracking to the far right of the centre of the plaque. This does not effect its aesthetic.
