Arts and Crafts Copper Plate c.1900
£280
This Arts and Crafts copper plate was produced around 1900 and reflects the Arts and Crafts movement (1880–1910), with its commitment to handcrafted metalwork and natural motifs. The circular form features a pie-crust edge enclosing a repoussé floral design framed within a diamond border, executed with clarity and restraint.
The decorative scheme aligns with the British vernacular idiom of the period, celebrating handwork and the expressive surface of hammered copper. Such pieces were often made in regional guilds or small workshops inspired by the ideals of John Ruskin and William Morris, who advocated for the visible presence of the craftsman’s hand.
