An elegant, engraved brass craftsman's plaque bearing the inscription "E. BARBIER." Its scalloped shape and pierced ends suggest it may have adorned a toolbox or the shop sign of a late 19th-century artisan. The engraved typography and the fine decorative line in the center attest to meticulous handcraftsmanship. A uniform golden patina, signs of wear, and slight natural oxidation lend all their charm to this authentic workshop piece.
