Mecap - André Louis - Wall plate - Saint Georges...

Mecap - André Louis - Wall plate - Saint Georges...

Enhance your interior decor with this masterful work: a very large circular relief in repoussé copper or brass, displaying an impressive diameter of 46 cm. This collectible piece inspired by medieval motifs depicts the mythical and dynamic struggle of Saint George slaying the dragon, a timeless symbol of courage and the triumph of good over evil. The piece is signed by artist A. Louis and bears the seal of the famous Belgian brand Mecap for wrought iron and dinanderie (active in the mid-20th century, renowned for its high-quality decorative pieces). The meticulous work of raised copper repoussé offers exceptional depth and a multitude of captivating details: the finesse of the armor, the flowing drapery of the knight's cape, the powerful stance of the rearing horse, and the textured scales of the fantastical creature. In the background, the silhouettes of a medieval fortress take shape. Object specifications • Artist: Signed A. Louis (at the bottom of the relief) • Manufacturer / Foundry: Certified by the Mecap crest (Belgian decorative ironwork) • Theme: Saint George slaying the dragon • Dimensions: Large format with a 46 cm diameter • Material: Repoussé copper • Finish: Beaded edge and finely chiselled frame A decorative metalwork piece ideal for dressing a large wall, adding character to a room, or enriching a collection of historical and medieval objects
