Dimensions
Why this piece is special
Rare scale: chargers of this size and quality are uncommon and make a dramatic focal point.
Fine Dutch 18th‑century workmanship with strong figural and heraldic motifs — ideal for a period interior or as a striking, historic accent in a contemporary setting.
Care & display
Best displayed indoors, away from extreme humidity or direct heat.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that will remove original patina.
