Don’t know what this plate is or used for but it’s heavy brass

[BigTony]

I found a heavy brass plate 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches. On the front there are three dancing women with what looks like Dutch hats.
There is a small loop at the top for a chain or nail to hang it. The back of the plate is plain nothing on it.

That’s certainly unusual.

Yeah, it is very unusual

Interesting.
Looks very old. 1800's anyway.
Or something depicting that era.

Some research says 1850 to 1900. Either used for hanging over fireplace or an ornament for a fireplace box.

Pretty interesting mg find…. It appears to be curved in the photo.
If so, any thought if that was the original shape?

My guess is probably not curved when it was hammered out by the maker

Yes, I found google image search and similar plates came up. They were made in England between 1850 to 1930 with a Dutch theme that was popular at the time.

Made in England between 1850 and 1930. Dutch theme of three dancing milk maids. Probably an fireplace ornament
