Rock Hudson's Decorative Pewter Plate Bearing A Coat of Arms. 14" in diameter. The bottom of the plate holds a high relief coat of arms depicting two hippocamps, mythical creatures that were horse in the forepart and having a scaly, fishlike hindquarter. These creatures were often used in Roman public baths and can be seen in Pompeii; they were also used on certain Greek coins. The two hippocamps hold a shield between them bearing a fleur de lis, two flowers, three sailing ships and a castle rampart. Above the shield is a small castle. Along the lip of the plate "Cambridge" is engraved. Hudson often bought antiques in Europe. This plate was kept in one of his two living rooms at 9402 Beverly Crest Dr. in Beverly Hills, where he lived from 1962 until his death in 1985.
Estimated Value $300 - 500.
Property of Martin Flaherty, Rock Hudson's estate manager from 1975 until Hudson's death in 1985.
