US Civil War Bronze Plaque F George, Signed J Lavergne,1856

19th century
For Sale by Curious Antiques
Description

Interesting large mid 19th century bronze portrait plaque dated 1856. It is beautifully cast with a large central bust in profile of a distinguished gentleman and is headed 'F George 1856'. I was told it was an American piece with civil war connections when I purchased it and clearly 1856 was a significant point in US history. It is signed by the artist J Lavergne who was a noted French artist who specialised in bronzes. The bronze has taken on great colour/patina and is in good original antique condition. There is a very small loss on the edge but it is tiny and a hole at the top to enable it to be hung. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.

Price includes FREE UK postage, please contact me regarding international shipping.

Size:24cm wide x 24cm deep x 0.5cm thick, weight 1kg. I will happily ship Worldwide.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A bronze portrait relief plaque is a cast metal medallion featuring a raised, three-dimensional profile or bust of an individual, popular in the nineteenth century for commemorative and artistic display.

These items were traditionally created using the lost-wax or sand casting method, followed by hand-chasing to refine fine details and the application of a chemical patina to achieve depth and colour.

Authentic pieces typically display hand-chased details, crisp artist signatures or foundry marks, natural oxidisation in low-relief areas, and appropriate wear consistent with age rather than uniform artificial distressing.

A bronze profile plaque can be displayed upright on a small stand within a bookshelf, mounted as part of a gallery wall, or placed on a mantelpiece alongside modern minimalist ceramics for visual contrast.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or metal polishes that strip original patina; a light application of microcrystalline wax can be applied to protect the surface.
