Mid-Century Neoclassical Bisque Medallion Plaques, Mayer & Co.

Story

The label on the reverse points to Mayer & Co., a legendary Washington D.C. retailer that once defined high-society taste in the nation's capital from its landmark building on G Street.

Maker / Origin

Mayer & Co. was one of the most prestigious furniture and interior design firms in Washington D.C., often tasked with furnishing embassies and the homes of the political elite.

Condition & Value

The frames show significant 'shabby chic' wear, including paint loss and chipping on the outer edges, which is consistent with their age. The bisque porcelain appears intact, though the gold leaf background shows heavy craquelure and some minor spotting.
