Some Greek art above my dining table!!!

These 4 plates have been in my house for almost 10 years now. Each one has been painstakingly painted with 24 K gold paint by some Greek artist...along with the flower vase!!

That's actually just ONE tall vase and it's Chinese in origin - not part of the wall plates and the small flower vase on the dining table.

The tall vase has been shot from 2 different angles.

Beautiful plates and vase JJ. Did you have to keep them in storage while rehabbing the home?

Well, I just packed them up in bubble wrap and placed them in a cardboard box. Opened them up after coming back to my own home.

Beautifull pieces of artwork.

I have read though that the type of "hangers" you are using can damage the rim of the plate. Do be carefull please, i'd hate for those lovely plates to get damaged.

James.
