Double heart-shaped enameled funeral plaque

This large enamelled sheet metal funeral plaque commemorates both a wife, who died on September 14, 1901, and her husband Henri, who died in March 1911. Its rare family inscription, heart shape, and small flame at the bottom make it a touching testament to the art of memory in the early 20th century. The three mounting holes are still present.
