Rare Bronze Portrait Plaque for The US Copper Cent by Victor Brenner, Dated 1907
About the Item
A rare copper-patinated bronze bas-relief portrait plaque of Abraham Lincoln by Lithuanian / American sculptor Victor David Brenner. Titled bottom centre 'ABRAHAM LINCOLN 1809-1865’ and bearing impressed artist marks for Victor David Brenner as shown along the far-right outer edge, together with copyright marks & date marks for 1907.
The outer left edge bears impressed foundry marks for S. Klaber & Co. New York City.
Victor David Brenner (1871-1924), studied with noted French medalist Oscar Roty at the Julien Academy in Paris, and regarded as one of the most celebrated medallists of his time and is represented in the permanent collection of the American Wing of The Metropolitan Museum, New York City.
This portrait was chosen by Theodore Roosevelt for the face of the US copper cent coin, sculpted by Victor D. Brenner, and based on a photograph of Abraham Lincoln taken by noted Civil War photographer Mathew Brady, and minted in 1907. The United States copper cent coin still bears Brenner's initials beneath the truncation of Lincoln's profile.

Antique Rare Bronze Gavel in the Form of a Fist Dated 1603, England
Located in Doha, QA
EVERY LAWYER AND JUDGE MUST HAVE! This extraordinary bronze gavel, dated 1603 and weights 1,3 kg. It is a rare and evocative example of early ceremonial instruments. Cast in the form of a clenched fist- symbolising authority, resolve, and order- it is mounted on a worn, aged wooden handle that enhances its historic character. The craftsmanship and materials suggest it originated in medieval or early Stuart England, a period when guilds, courts, and civic bodies often used symbolic tools to assert power and structure in meetings and proceedings.
While the term “gavel” became widely recognised in the 18th and 19th centuries, mallet-like instruments were used much earlier, particularly in English trade guilds and legal contexts, where they served as emblems of control and decision-making. The clenched fist design is highly unusual, possibly denoting a unique ceremonial role or elevated authority within a guild or council.
This piece is not only a striking object of early design but also a rare surviving example from the transitional period between the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras...
