Sophisticated 13-inch charger plate featuring a rich amber and brown tortoiseshell glass center. The plate is finished with a rustic, hand-woven natural rattan border secured with traditional wicker lacing. Perfect for tropical, bohemian, or high-end coastal table settings.
Key Features
High-contrast mixed materials (glass and wood); popular 'Grandmillennial' or 'Organic Modern' aesthetic; heavy, high-quality feel; neutral earth tones.
Authenticity Indicators
Generic white price sticker suggests thrift or boutique origin; lack of maker's mark is common for high-end home decor imports. Confidence: High (item is decorative, not a luxury replicate).
Flaws to Note
Minor surface scuffing on glass visible under direct light; potential for dust buildup in the woven rattan crevices; minor fraying of natural fibers.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for vintage decor collectors), Poshmark (strong home goods market), or Facebook Marketplace (if sold as a set to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Coastal Grandma,' 'Boho Chic,' and 'Tropical Table Decor.' Highlighting the texture in close-up photos is essential. If you find only one, market it as a 'Replacement' for someone with a broken set. If you have multiples, always sell as a set to maximize profit.
