A striking pair of Antique late 20th-century American folk art style pressed papier-mâché mantel garnitures. Designed in the highly collectible manner of 19th-century Pennsylvania Dutch chalkware, each architectural plaque features a bold, high-relief urn bursting with stylized red blossoms, deep forest green foliage, and vibrant ochre-yellow tulips.Crafted using traditional molded paper pulp methods, these single-sided, flat-backed decorations stand an impressive 17.25 inches tall by 9 inches wide. The front facades showcase a beautifully executed, hand-painted polychrome finish complete with an intentional vintage patina and fine, age-appropriate craquelure glaze along the base. The backsides are uniformly finished with a distressed, antiqued wash mimicking decades of historic chimney soot display. A beautiful, lightweight statement set perfect for traditional, cottagecore, or rustic interior spaces.
