19th C. Grand Tour Bronze Oval Plaque – Classical Female Bust – 62×42 mm 19th Century Grand Tour Bronze Plaque – Classical Female Bust Dimensions: 62 × 42 mm Material: Bronze (not silvered) Origin: Europe, c. 1850–1890 Offered here is an elegant Grand Tour–period bronze portrait plaque, featuring a beautifully modelled classical female figure in left-facing profile. Her hairstyle, drapery folds, and refined facial features recall the Neoclassical revival of the mid–19th century, when artists and travellers reproduced ancient subjects for study, decoration, and scholarly collections. The plaque is cast in solid bronze with a dark, naturally aged patina, showing excellent depth in the relief. A cast suspension loop is integrated at the top, indicating that this piece was originally intended to be worn, displayed, or attached inside a Grand Tour cabinet. The back shows typical wear and surface texture consistent with small studio castings of the period. A small mark or punch is visible near the center. ⸻ Highlights • Authentic 19th-century Grand Tour bronze • Superb high-relief modelling of a classical woman • 62×42 mm, a larger and more decorative size • Original integrated suspension loop • Natural dark patina, untouched • A perfect addition for collectors of classical art, Grand Tour objects, medals, and early bronze portraits ⸻ Shipping Worldwide shipping included in the price.
