Pewter Plate with 2 Hippocamps and Castle in High Relief


Price: $ 2,000.00   (Object d`Art » Rock Hudson)

Wow!!! THIS PLATE IS FABULOUS AND HEAVY!!!!

Rock Hudson's Decorative Pewter Plate Bearing A Coat of Arms. 

The bottom of the plate holds a high relief coat of arms depicting two hippocamps, mythical creatures that were horse in the forepart and having a scaly, fish like hindquarter.  These creatures were often used in Roman public baths and can be seen in Pompeii; they were also used on certain Greek coins.  The two hippocamps hold a shield between them bearing a Fleur De Li's, two flowers, three sailing ships and a castle rampart. Above the shield is a small castle.  Along the lip of the plate "Cambridge" is engraved.  Rock Hudson often bought antiques in Europe.  This plate was kept in one of his two living rooms at 9402 Beverly Crest Dr. in Beverly hills, Ca. where he lived from 1962 till his death in 1985.  In three of the pictures you can plainly see the plate in the foreground.  These are various articles from House and Garden and other magazines.  Copies of these come with purchase. 

Comes with Certificate of Authenticity.

Hiya Martin!

Could I get a copy of image 0164 when YOU send the candlestick? On the left of the coffee table, there is the plate that I bought from YOU!

It would be good to have that picture with the COA!

THANKS!
