North African (Libya) Copper Art Plate Set from 1953. The hand crafting of these pieces is amazing! They were never used for serving. They were hung as wall art. They are in like new condition! The copper may be alloyed with another metal, such as tin. That would account for the lack of oxidation. The last picture displays the only sign of oxidation, which is nearly non-existent. The large plate measures 19.5 in diameter. The two smaller plates measure 9 and 1/8 in diameter. The two smaller plates have a copper wire that is soldered on the back for hanging. The larger plate has a copper sleeve to put a wire through for hanging. The second last picture has the artist’s stamp on it. This picture may be hard to view. It says Fauzi Naas, Tripoli. Please view pictures for condition. A great addition to anyone’s collection of African artwork or anyone that collects handcrafted plates or artwork. Reasonable offers will be considered.
