Description
Old Masters Gift Set in High Quality Vintage Belgium Crystal
The Old Masters gift set includes two famous artists crystal art plates by Val Saint Lambert, Belgium. Highly artistic deep sand-blast carvings on quality crystal of English artists Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. Both men were competing in the lucrative portrait business in the Mid-18th Century
Great find in original box with literature. Box is a bit worn from storage. Plates are in pristine condition with both Val St. Lambert labels on each.
The carvings are detailed and interesting/amusing. Artist must have been very grumpy back in the 1700’s. Top-of-the line deeply etched decor with a fascinating 3-D effect.
The crystal is pure, extreme high clarity…not a spot on it. Thick walled, top-quality Belgium crystal.
Both are signed on the base “Edition Limited – 1972 Val St. Lambert”. Pamphlet gives a short bio of the artists and a list (with dates) of others artists in the series beginning in 1968.
More famous artist plates of Van Gogh, Rubens and Rembrandt (without original boxes) are available separately . Click here to view all Old Masters portrait plates available.
Plates measure 8″ round, rims are slightly flared up. Each plate weighs 1 lb.
