Neoclassical Brass Oval Wall Plate with Ribbon Bow & Floral Garland Frame

Design & Inspiration

Drawing from the refined vocabulary of Louis XVI Neoclassical design — where restraint meets opulence — this oval brass wall plate commands attention with the graceful authority of an 18th-century French salon. At its crown, a boldly sculpted ribbon bow cascades into flowing streamers, a motif beloved by the court ateliers of Versailles for its ability to suggest movement and elegance in solid metal. Below, a continuous garland of cast rosette blossoms encircles the oval aperture, each flower rendered with the crisp definition of fine lost-wax casting. The result is a wall accent of genuine visual weight — not merely decorative, but architectural in presence.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Every element of this hanging plate is shaped from solid brass, worked by the hands of Brass & Wood's master artisans in Egypt. The frame begins as a wax model, allowing every petal, every ribbon fold, every leaf-and-acanthus detail to be perfected before casting. Once cast, the surface is hand-chased and finished to a warm, luminous tone that catches ambient light with the depth of genuine ormolu. The oval recess accepts a portrait miniature or decorative print, held securely within the polished inner bezel. A discreet hanging mechanism on the reverse allows for immediate wall installation without additional hardware.

Dimensions & Details

This wall plate is offered as a single piece and is available in multiple brass finishes to complement any interior palette — from warm Gold and antiqued tones to cooler Silver. Its compact oval format makes it equally suited to a curated gallery wall, a bedroom vanity area, a reception console, or a library shelf. The piece weighs 4 kg, lending it the reassuring solidity of cast metalwork that will endure decades of display.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Brass & Wood is proud to produce this piece entirely in Egypt, where a centuries-old tradition of metalwork artistry meets contemporary quality standards. Each plate passes through multiple stages of hand-finishing, ensuring that no two pieces are precisely identical — a hallmark of genuine handcraft.
