Three plate sizes create depth and movement, while repeating green, gold and embossed botanical details tie the entire collection together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArranged as photographed, the finished gallery measures approximately 33\" wide × 39–40\" tall, depending on spacing—large enough to make a beautiful statement over a buffet, hutch, console, dresser or other piece of furniture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10 antique plates total:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 large Hutschenreuther Selb, Bavaria statement plate — approx. 11\"\u003cbr\u003e2 large green George Jones \u0026amp; Sons Rhapsody plates — approx. 8\"\u003cbr\u003e7 small George Jones \u0026amp; Sons Rhapsody plates — approx. 6\"\u003cbr\u003eCoordinating green, ivory and gold palette\u003cbr\u003eSuggested finished arrangement: approx. 33\"W × 39–40\"H\u003cbr\u003eHanging hardware\/plate hangers are not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe photographed arrangement is simply a guide. The plates can be spaced more tightly, spread farther apart, or rearranged to suit your wall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Centerpiece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of the collection is an ornate Hutschenreuther Selb Bavarian porcelain plate, made in Germany and retailed by the historic John Wanamaker department store.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe approximately 11\" plate features a striking pale turquoise\/celadon field covered in intricate gold ornamentation, an elaborate gilded border and richly decorated gold center.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts reverse bears both the Hutschenreuther Selb, Bavaria maker's mark and the John Wanamaker retailer mark—an appealing connection between fine European porcelain production and the grand American department stores of the early 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Jones \u0026amp; Sons Rhapsody\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurrounding the Bavarian centerpiece are nine coordinating George Jones \u0026amp; Sons “Rhapsody” plates, made in Staffordshire, England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDating approximately to the late 1920s–early 1930s, these Art Deco pieces feature beautiful raised botanical decoration molded into creamy white porcelain. Flowers, foliage and fruit create wonderful texture, while crisp geometric borders add green and gold accents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe collection includes both green and gold variations of the pattern, allowing the smaller plates to echo both the celadon color and extensive gilding of the Bavarian centerpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, the different sizes and colorways create the appearance of an antique collection assembled gradually over generations, without having to spend years assembling one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAntique condition with age-appropriate wear and patina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe large Hutschenreuther plate has visible wear and loss to its extensive gold decoration, particularly within the heavily gilded center. This is clearly shown in the close-up photographs. Despite the wear, the elaborate decoration remains striking and displays beautifully as wall art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe George Jones pieces show normal signs of age and previous use, including minor surface wear and variation to their decorative finishes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease review all photographs carefully; they form part of the condition description. These are genuine antique pieces, so variations and evidence of their history are expected and are part of the character of the collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause these pieces include antique decorative finishes and gilding, this collection is being offered primarily as decorative wall art and display, rather than everyday tableware.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for grandmillennial interiors, English country homes, traditional and eclectic decorating, collected interiors, dining rooms, breakfast rooms, kitchens, entryways, powder rooms and anywhere that could use a little old-world color and ornament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a one-of-a-kind curated collection.
