Description

An early 20th Century circular memorial plaque Lord Kitchener (Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener), a prominent British Field Marshal and statesman, the Secretary of State for War during the first two years of World War I. He is famously depicted on the "Lord Kitchener Wants You" recruiting poster. The bust itself is likely brass or bronze-finished metal, mounted on an round, dark-stained oak base. The inscription on the lower part of the bust reads: LORD KITCHENER DIED JUNE 5TH 1916, this date refers to the sinking of HMS Hampshire by a German mine off the Orkney Islands while carrying Kitchener to Russia; there were only 12 survivors and Kitchener was not among them. The item is a commemorative piece, likely produced shortly after his death to memorialize the military leader.

FAQs

Early 20th-century memorial plaques were frequently produced to honour military figures, political leaders, and significant historical events, serving as tangible records of national remembrance and public mourning.

These pieces typically combined cast bronze, brass, or copper relief profiles mounted onto turned hardwood backing boards, such as oak or mahogany, utilising traditional foundry casting and woodworking techniques.

Authentic items exhibit natural age-related patina, oxidisation on the metal surfaces, period-appropriate fixings, and traditional craftsmanship markers such as hand-turned timber mounts rather than modern synthetic adhesives.

This type of piece integrates well into study or library settings, styled as a focal point within a gallery wall of framed historical prints or mounted individually on panelled timber walls to add depth and historic character.

Preservation requires dusting the timber gently with a dry cloth and avoiding chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners on the bronze relief to protect the original patina and surface finish.
