Rare 'The Arrival' W.H. Bossons Chalkware Plate | 1950s-60s Reproduction Western Wall Decor | Rustic Mid-Century Vintage Art Collectible
$33.33 $30.30
This is a rare reproduction of the classic W.H. Bossons chalkware plate, “The Arrival,” originally produced between 1954 and 1962.
📐 Measuring about 8 ⅜ inches (21.5 cm) in diameter and 1 ⅛ inch (3 cm) high, this 480-gram treasure depicts an enchanting 17th-century English scene—complete with a horse-drawn carriage rolling over cobblestone streets, Tudor-style cottages, a handy water pump, and even a few ducks wandering around! It’s like stepping back in time to old England.
📖 Historical Imagery: “The Arrival” scene has roots in the beloved W.H. Bossons brand. William Henry Bossons was an English entrepreneur who founded a company in Congleton, Cheshire, famous for producing chalkware heads and plaques from the late 1940s to the mid-1990s. His detailed, hand-painted designs captured everyday life, historical moments, and cultural motifs—making them popular collectibles even today.
“The Arrival” design beautifully portrays a quaint 17th-century English scene with a horse-drawn carriage, cobblestone streets, Tudor cottages, a hand water pump, and a trio of wandering ducks—evoking nostalgia for old-world village life. Although the imagery is rooted in English history, its rustic, warm brown tones and timeless design fit right in with Western and mid-century modern aesthetics, making it a unique piece that blends European heritage with American décor charm.
• Mid-Century Charm: Chalkware wall décor was all the rage in American homes during the mid-20th century. This piece showcases those rustic brown tones that fit seamlessly into Western, farmhouse, or cottage-inspired interiors.
✔️ Quality & Condition: It’s in very good vintage shape—no cracks or chips, just a few tiny discoloration dots if you really go looking for them. Marked “MH” on the back and ready to hang (a screw or hook fits into the hollow area).
Whether you’re a Western movie buff, a lover of English country scenes, or just someone craving that cozy MCM vibe, this chalkware plate is a fantastic way to add warmth and character to your space.
It’s hard not to appreciate the artistry and nostalgia packed into this piece. Plus, it makes a great gift for that special someone who adores vintage Western aesthetics or unique mid-century décor!
