This Arts and Crafts copper wall plate was made around 1900 and represents the strong decorative metalwork tradition that flourished during the Arts and Crafts movement (1880–1910). The circular plate features a raised central boss framed by a series of repoussé floral motifs within stylised leaf panels, each hand-chased to create rhythmic surface variation.
The craftsmanship aligns with the British vernacular decorative metalwork of the period, where simple materials were elevated through hand tooling and geometric composition. The design reflects the movement’s emphasis on natural forms, honest workmanship, and the tactile quality of hand-beaten copper.
Wall plates such as this were often produced in small workshops or guilds inspired by the ideals of Morris and Ashbee, combining practical skill with aesthetic restraint. The result is a work of quiet integrity and visual warmth.
