Art Nouveau Portrait Plate with Turquoise Border

Some pieces are decorative. Others are pure atmosphere. This portrait plate falls squarely into the second category. Featuring a romantic portrait of a young woman with a rose in her hair, surrounded by a striking turquoise, pink, white, and gold border, this piece captures the soft drama of turn-of-the-century decorative art. The border is ornate, the portrait is dreamy, and the whole thing feels like it belongs in a parlor where someone is dramatically reading a letter by lamplight. Approximate diameter is just under 10 inches based on the ruler photo. Condition: Light to moderate age-related surface wear, including small scratches, scuffs, and typical wear to the decoration from age and display. No back photo was provided for maker confirmation. Confidence notes: Art Nouveau/Victorian styling is based on visible design elements. Maker and exact date are not confirmed from the available photos.
