Late 1950's? Early 1960's? All the details were added by the submitter - except the date!
The mom looks like an Italian movie star.
My very thought. . . Gina Lolabrada. . .can’t spell her last name. . .but she was a beautiful in her day.
She has the same face of my mother 0.0 oh gosh! (And Yes, we are italians)
whats offensive?
AncientFaces I don't see them as offensive, you have no idea where they live, who they bought them from, or where they were manufactured. Its common for African and arab plaques to be found in homes all over the world

That's a nice piece of information! In California, we used to have a coffee shop chain that was called "Sambos." The walls were painted with murals from the story. They were all closed down - did they exist in other parts of the US? Do they still?
AncientFaces I dont think so, and I know what a Sambo was and this is not that thank god

AncientFaces We went to one many years ago in Santa Barbara. Maybe about 2001. I’m sure it’s closed now.

That has always been one of my favorite stories.. too nad it has gotten a bad name. Sambo was the name of the little boy in the story...I bought a modern version of the story when my childeren were little
AncientFaces I looked it up. It was originally in 47 states, but in the 70’s it got a lot of flack due to its name, which was actually a combo of the two owners names. They capitalized on “Sambo” and it eventually backfired on them. Apparently, Santa Barbara is the only one left and is still open!

Yeap, these "exotic" plaques are spreading not very good vibrations for totally different culture...
No, unfortunately we had a Sambos in Arlington, Texas until the late 1970s. The imagery was as offensive as it sounds. Worse.
I also don't find the wall sconces offensive. I have Arabic art in my home (only Islamic patterns) and no one finds that offensive.

AncientFaces yes but where I grew up they were pancake restaurants like ihop
AncientFaces the plaques look like genies. What’s offensive ??🧞♀️
AncientFaces we lived in Syracuse NY in the mid 80’s to early 90’s and had a Sambo’s where we enjoyed their breakfasts. They are definitely closed now but their food was actually good.
My aunt has some wall plaques similar, it was popular then and she lived in small town, western Canada.
Joanne Latham Jacobellis There is one Sambo's in Santa Barbara. It was a chain, yes. Good food. Ate there many times.
AncientFaces - Had them in South Carolina - they were actually named after the two founders Sam b. and Mr Bohnett. SAM-BO. People assumed it was named after the children’s storybook and the owners capitalized on the assumption.
AncientFaces not for that time period

What's uglier is hearing people complaining online about what can't be done because it's passed.
AncientFaces Sambo's Restaurant decor and theme was fashioned after the popular children's book, "Little Black Sambo". About a family in INDIA whose son, Sambo, loved pancakes. Sambo's Restaurant was a pancake house. The author lived in India most of her life and wrote the book for her grandchildren. I grew up with the book and loved t. It had NOTHING to do with Africans. It made a hero out of a little Indian boy who conquered a Tiger and made Tiger Butter for his pancakes. P.C. idiocy of today has gotten way out of hand and robbed us of some classics.

She looks like Elzabeth Taylor.
Late 50s, very early 60s before skirts took a hike.
I'd say " Late 50's to 60's , Lol. African Tribe's Men, not "Sambo, whose origan was America, I remembered.
Late 50s
Nothing is offensive.
Daphnee Lajeunesse That is not offense to me. Many people had "black" or African" art - it's highly collectible category.
This picture is a time capsule of that period. Everything about it is just fine , modern and in good taste for that period ...and mom is beautiful
The Mom's hair-do is/at least from 1968. I started Beauty School that year.:)
I would say late 50s due to eyebrows and hair style. The skirt length reflects dresses from pictures in my own family.
Offensive? It was when women looked like women, and it worked WAY better that way. And I say mid-late 60's, as the "Mom" isn't wearing any gloves with such a fancy dress. My friend's Mom has a picture of her & her Husband from 63, and she's wearing gloves in it. Could be earlier, but that's what I think...
Osaka, we all know what is implied.....but no matter what you or I think today it was not applicable then. It was a simpler time, it was what it [external link] political reprocussions back then. So chill out and take it as it WAS.

Iri Bendis women dressed feminine, in a dress, poised feminine, looked altogether feminine. Like a woman,
Haha oh, so being feminine is dependant on a piece of clothing and if you don't dress in pretty dresses you're what...? Not female?
Iri Bendis ok, I'll say it for the women that want to but are affraid to say it......YES!!!! Or at least clothes that keep your private parts private. Stop taking selfies of yourself all puckered up, you look dumb. Stop drinking in bars and making an ass of yourself, stop the dirty language, leave married men alone, leave your friend's boyfriend alone, and have a sandwich so your clothes have something to hang on to
