Edwardian Plaque of Reynolds Angel Holding Child, Chester 1905, Deakin & Sons

Some pieces in in the store are so lovely that we’re honestly reluctant to see them leave; this particular piece is one of them. This lovely ornamental Edwardian plaque features a Reynolds Angel holding a child, and is hallmarked Chester 1905 and is by the maker James Deakin and Sons. This piece features beautiful repousse work; the folds of the angel's robes are beautifully depicted and the features of both angel and child are skilfully executed. Overall a beautiful piece with Art Nouveau influences to be seen in the flowing hair and stylized clouds.

Overall the silver is in excellent antique condition; the frame is also in good condition with wear commensurate with age, there is one faint hairline crack to the wood which is at the very bottom of the frame. It is stable and does not affect use, and is only visible when held to the light (ie. not when on display). 

Measurements: Plaque measures approximately 8 cm wide x 12 cm long. Frame measures approximately 18 x 23 cm long and with depth of approximately 2 cm.
