Signed American Art Deco pair of lustre chargers (big plates), with relief sculpture of a deer and wolf. Made by Oscar Bruno Bach (1884 - 1957) German-American, one of the most skilled and commercially successful figures in the American Art Deco period (1920 -40's).<br>
Each charger measures 12 inches in diameter. Made of silver coloured metal with an iridescence normally associated with art glass and a finish/texture like soft leather. A continuous Greek key pattern is engraved along the border. The center of each plate has a relief sculpted animal - one a deer, the other a wolf. Both popular themes of the Art Deco period. Both beautifully portrayed in a highly decorative, elegant and sinuous design. <br>
The back of each plate/charger is signed. The deer plate has the remnant of it's original sticker/lable from which we can still make out the words "lustrous sheen of Beaumet". Near the rim is engraved artist’s name Oscar B. Bach in script and impressed in print: STERLING BRONZE CO NEW YORK and the number 17. The wolf plate is engraved in the center: Beaumet by Sterling Bronze Co New York and has an oval logo.<br>
Both plates are in very good condition. THere is very minor surface scratching, mentioned only for the sake of total accuracy. |
