Seller: diggerlee ✉️ (35,944) 99.9%, Location: Yorkshire, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 144617828016 Art Nouveau 19thC Bronzed SPELTER Metal Portrait Lady Bas Relief Plaque 11x8". This is an antique 19th Century bronzed bas relief wall plaque. The metal is SPELTER which was often used in this period which is cheaper and slightly lighter weight and it was used to re-create older original works often using the same moulds. The spelter has then been " bronzed " to make it look like bronze, but you can see on the high edges where this has worn off and the spelter metal is showing through.  So the spelter moulding is mounted onto an oak back board which has 2 inset brass wall hanging mounts.  The spelter plaque is of a classical mythical person which I have not been able to identify.  Someone kindly said its  Andrea Verrocchio Ritratto di Scipione l'Africano di profilo Louvre The helmet has what looks like a conch shell on top and a small dragon or griffin on the visor which is in the upright position. There is another dragon like beast on the shoulder and then on the front armour breast plate I can see a human head with a wing to the side.  A very nice wall plaque for the furnishers - decorators stock for the right period home.   No issues other than slight wear on the high areas. Please see pictures provided for more details and visual confirmation of condition. The oak plaque measures approx. 14 x 10 inch which is 3/4 inch deep. The actual spelter plaque is 11 and half inch x 7 and 3/4 inch with a good depth of 1 and half inch relief. The plaque weighs 2.5 kilos.   My stock ref : in loft.
