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.
