These two commemorative plates for the wedding of Duchess Victoria Louise of Prussia and Duke Ernst August of Brunswick and Lüneburg are impressive testimonies to the monarchical culture of remembrance of the early 20th century. Such plates were often produced to commemorate significant events such as weddings, accessions to the throne, or jubilees, and typically feature portraits, coats of arms, patriotic symbols, and inscriptions.

The wedding on May 24, 1913, was a politically significant event that ended decades of animosity between the Houses of Hohenzollern and Welf. The celebrations were considered "Europe's Last Rendezvous," a festive highlight of the European monarchy shortly before the outbreak of World War I. The plates show the portraits of the two wedding protagonists and refer to the dynastic significance of this union.

The pieces presumably date from the early period of World War I and are preserved in very good condition. They combine historical symbolism, representative design, and dynastic significance – a real highlight for collectors of Imperial Era memorabilia, aristocratic portraits, and objects of German monarchy history.
