[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4539929, member: 5833"]An interesting thought. I have to think not. One reason, the findings on some of them: [ATTACH=full]401786[/ATTACH] Another is the sensibility behind the choice of designs. Who today would turn to the bronze medallions of Edward William Wyon or the ivories of Duquesnoy used for many of the plaques made by this operation? Not impossible, obviously, but likely? I have sometimes come across sale listings that give some provenance, info on previous ownership, & they predate 3D printing. This matter just drives me mad. These 3 plaques sold by an Italian dealer as white alabaster are certainly from my mystery maker. The one they identify as Zephyr & Flora is actually Puck & Titania.

That little faux bronze engraving certifies they are fakes. Here's what Antiques Roadshow had to say in 1998, although I don't know how appraiser knew they were made in 'England & elsewhere.'
