Advert Description
Here we have a beautiful antique plate, manufactured by BOOTHS England in a unique design. Extremely rare find and every collector’s dream! An original piece with a pattern especially designed and presented to Tiffany & Co NY, and picked by them to order for one of their early collections. The plate has an imprinted (not stamped) BOOTHS back mark, usually used around mid-19-th century or earlier. Dated as a 19-th century piece by two auction houses’ valuation departments and also described as “obviously of some high quality” by them, this great piece of art has been made using two techniques – printing and hand painted elements, which is easily noticeable from the photos.
A lovely scene with yellow birds, beautiful cherry blossoms and golden filigree elements over stunning cobalt blue, finished with scalloped edges, rimmed with gold.
With probably only a few of these amazing items survived in the whole world and just one on the open market for sale, it is a challenge to value this piece of art, but it is also a great acquisition for every self-esteemed collector.
