Very interesting late 19th/early 20th century Arts and Crafts Enamel plaque. Attributed to Charles Fleetwood Varley 1863 - 1942.

Fleetwood Varley was a friend and collaborator of C.R. Ashbee and worked at the Guild of Handicraft at Chipping Camden.

Fleetwood Charles Varley joined Charles Robert Ashbee and his Guild of Handicraft in the 1890s and quickly became famous as a landscape watercolourist, topographical artist and above all a sophisticated enameller. He stayed within the guild until it dissolved in 1907, after Varley found a new market for his enamels at Liberty & Co, where silver, pewter items and jewellery featuring his enamels became well sought after

The plaque is in excellent condition with its original frame.
