PEWTER PLATES

Here are pewter plates depicting an alphabet done in a 1480's French manuscript hand. We have followed the style of that hand in producing the few letters that were not part of the manuscript (J,V,W) either because they were not part of the alphabet at that time or they were not needed for the manuscript! We can link these as collars-of-maintenance, as linked belts for cotehardies and houplandes, or place them on a leather belt. You can display your motto, membership in an Order, guild, or household or use the many decorative spacers to create a thing of beauty. We also sell them loose for you to use as decoration in the manner that you see fit.

A, B, and C plates      D, E, and F plates
G, H, and I plates      J, K, and L plates
M, N, and O plates            P, Q, and R plates
S, T, and U plates          V, W, and X plates
Y and Z plates

We use lead-free pewter for the plates which measure 1" by 1 1/4" wide are about a tenth of an inch thick and are given a scratch finish. Please note that the pewter is a brilliant silvery-white color not the brown/yellow of these photos (which will be replaced as soon as possible). In addition to the letters we have several decorative plates to act as spacers (something not always done in period) or they may be used alone to create a stunning display. The spacer styles are four-petal rose, Lacey knot, gemplate, quatrefoil, club, and trefoil. We can mount a 10 mm gem stone in the gemplate and currently carry carnelian, blue and green agate, sodalite,malachite, mother-of-pearl, black onyx, tigereye, and amethyst.
