Neoclassical Style Composition Plaque

About the Item

An Neoclassical composition plaque, from the Tucker collection, made by British make-up artist Christopher Tucker. This decorative piece is a copy of a Georgian chimney piece, originally used as decoration for the frieze of a fireplace. The plaque showcases deeply carved details of its eye-catching classical scene depicting a lion being lead and ridden by putti displayed on the smooth weathered white tone of the composition. Mounted onto a custom steel stand, this elegant antique could be put pride of place inside a period style home ready for visitors to admire. Christopher Tucker Christopher Tucker (1941-2022) was an award-winning British make-up artist, specialising in prosthetics for theatre and film.
