Very unusual plaque like no other I've ever seen. I am unsure, but it appears to be bronze...possibly brass, though the weight feels more like bronze.
Dating to the early to late 1800s or so, this authentic Victorian (or late Georgian?) piece measures about 11" by 8.25"Depicted is a highly detailed couple, lovers it appears, both dressed in Renaissance or Georgian era costume. They are walking down a garden path, steps, actually, and to one side is a plant that appears to be a grape vine, grapes in clusters with large leaves. Detailed folliage, trees, even clouds are in the background and foreground.
I am unsure what this was originally intended to be used for...perhaps a plate on a door, as a circular area on the top left area has been cut. Maybe for a lock or doorknob? Nevertheless, this is a very nice piece of Victoriana, perhaps even Georgian metalware. The rich dark patina is unpolished and shows great detail. The edges of the plaque are rough, crude actually, the pictures should tell the story. A fine and unique piece that would be a great addition to your decor or projects! I welcome any information you may care to share about this if you know its age, origins, or original purpose. |
