Story
The 1960s saw a global design movement that celebrated the 'dignity of labor' and the raw beauty of handmade materials.
Maker / Origin
While these pieces are unsigned, they are consistent with the high-quality 'Talleres de Cobre' (copper workshops) of Santa Clara del Cobre in Mexico or similar artisanal hubs in Brazil.
Condition & Value
The plaques appear to be in excellent vintage condition with a well-preserved patina. Value is driven by the fact that these are a matching pair in a desirable Mid-Century Modern style.
