Copper Wall Hangings

1950? Embossed Copper Plates by Albert Gilles.  FC; WL; OR; FG.  7.75” x 8.75”.  One extra of FG.  Unknown source.

These are very heavy copper wall hangings.  Copies are still on sale at the “Albert Gilles Cuivres d’art” Museum and Shop in Chateau-Richer, Quebec, Canada, for $95 each.  From their website it seems that the four constitute the whole set.  Before finding that museum I tried letting Google find matches for our works and got a surprising variety of results.  FC in one attempt was labelled “Wolf and Bird”!  The designs here are identical with those on Jean Vernon's medallions in this collection!
