A Bronze Sculpture of Queen Victoria Dated 1897

19th century
Description

An English late 19th century fine bronze commemorative study of Queen Victoria in 1897, celebrating her diamond jubilee. She is regally standing in full ceremonial attire, wearing her crown, sash, and medals and holding the orb and sceptre.

This finally modelled and detailed figure was sculpted by the 19th century artist E E Geflowski, (1834 – 1898) and retailed by Mappin Brothers of London, located on Regent Street. This is a rare sculpture in excellent original condition with a dark patina and is signed on the bottom edge by the artist and also stamped Mappin Brothers.

Emanuel Edward Geflowski was born in Poland and settled in Liverpool in the 1850s before setting up his own workshop as a sculptor and architectural carver.

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.

Victorian commemorative bronzes were produced to mark significant historical events, royal milestones, and national figures. These sculptures typically feature precise detail, realistic proportions, and formal poses, reflecting the decorative traditions of late 19th-century British sculpture.

Most 19th-century statuettes were cast from bronze alloys containing copper, tin, and zinc using either the lost-wax (cire perdue) or sand casting technique. Following casting, figures were hand-chased to refine detail and treated with chemical solutions to produce a dark patinated finish.

Authentic period pieces exhibit crisp cold-chiselled details, natural surface oxidation, and appropriate physical weight consistent with solid bronze casting. Look for foundry marks, sculptor signatures, or stamped date inscriptions along the lower base rim.

A small bronze sculpture functions effectively as an accent on a wooden bookshelf, a writing desk, or a marble mantelpiece. Pairing the dark bronze metal against lighter stone or contemporary timber creates contrast while integrating a historical focal point.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or lint-free cloth to prevent dirt accumulation. Avoid water, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes, and apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax annually to preserve the patinated surface.
