Rebajes Copper Charger Great retro copper charger - made by Rebajes of New York City, circa 1940 - 1950. This huge piece measures 16" in diameter. The piece is enhanced by a classic leaf with curled stem, that mirrors the central triple circle on the charger. Pie crust crimped edges adorn the outside of the piece. The signature is just inside the edge on the front of the piece. The back has a built in hanger.

There is some light surface scratching, and one small area where the edge has been slightly bent. Although the piece in general does show wear - it displays beautifully. The patina is original and superb. Rebajes's pieces work well with Arts & Crafts Movement, Retro, and Deco styles.

Craftsman California Copper Charger Another fabulous copper charger - this one was made by Craftsmen, of Laguna Beach, California, probably circa 1950. This huge piece measures 18" in diameter. The outside rim has heavily impressed designs of oval lozenge shapes and circles. The interior has the same circle shape, but this time it's pressed in, to mirror the rim.. Fingernail type indentations get smaller and closer as they approach the central design of a sunflower. The mark is on the back between the lozenge and circle pattern. The back has a built in hanger.

Minor surface wear and light scratching - but both are minimal. This has its original patina, and is in generally wonderful condition. Like the Rebajes copper charger, this also works well with Arts & Crafts Movement, Retro, and Deco styles.
