Salem Imperial Service Plates, Set of 3, 23K Gold, 11"

A handsome set of three vintage Salem China "Imperial" service plates — the kind that used to anchor a formal dining room table and still turn heads. Each plate features a different Victorian-era figural scene at center: two ladies in a garden, a colonial dancing trio, and two women strolling with a child. The wide borders come in cobalt blue (one plate) and deep burgundy (two plates), all lavished with 23-karat gold filigree scrollwork.
