Beach house in plate form! We see this piece hanging in a coastal sunroom, above a fireplace in a layered living room, or as part of a kitchen gallery. Ideal for any space that's looking for a dash of seaside.
Throughout the eighteenth century, the shell motif emerged as a key design element in English and American decorative arts. This vintage piece from Mottahedeh is in the Torquay pattern, a pattern that first originated in 1820s Staffordshire on transferware. The original plate our vintage piece is modeled after is on view at the Winterthur collection. See it pictured last against the vibrant orange! Sourced in Brooklyn Heights, New York.
