Vintage 19th Century Royal Navy Fouled Anchor Plaque Placemats and the hinged form remains

and the hinged form remains intact

handcrafted piece that brings color

Vintage 19th Century Royal Navy Fouled Anchor Plaque Placemats and the hinged form remainsThis handsome nearly three feet tall 19th century Royal Navy fouled anchor plaque is heavy and generously scaled. The crowned anchor, long emblematic of British naval authority, carries a sense of salt air, empire, and ceremony. A striking maritime piece with presence, patina, and historic gravitas. The Latin on the plaque translates, "The Official Seal of the Lord High Admiral of Great Britain".
