About the Item

Interesting circular plaque cast in patinated bronze with a bas-relief male portrait, depicted in left profile in a solemn attitude. The figure appears dressed in period clothing, possibly from the 19th century, framed by a straight-lined architectural background reminiscent of neoclassical-inspired niches or commemorative panels. The piece retains its original patina with signs of oxidation typical of antique bronze, and on its back are remains of anchors or attachment points, suggesting that it was once part of a piece of furniture, a tombstone, a civil monument, or an institutional structure. It shows slight wear, perforations, and traces of soldering that lend authenticity to its state of preservation. Given its characteristics, this is a decorative or commemorative piece of probable European origin, ideal for collectors of historical art, memorial objects, or interior decoration with an eclectic and intellectual focus.
