This large nineteenth-century Indo-Persian wall art plaque is cast from heavy bronze and copper with a dark brown finish, verdigris highlights, and minor surface rubbing. The rectangular metalwork displays a repousse central scene of a couple seated on an ornate bench under trees within an engraved floral border and an arch motif. It shows visible casting details and a weathered patina across the flat metal surface. Measuring 39 cm high, 17 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, the heavy piece weighs 3.2 kg. Suitable for a gentleman's library or study, the antique item hangs flat on a narrow wall space or narrow architectural column. It complements traditional or eclectic interiors when mounted securely at eye level.

FAQs

During the 19th century, metalworkers across Northern India and Persia produced elaborate hand-chased and repousse bronze and copper plaques depicting courtly scenes, folklore, and intricate floral motifs for both domestic architectural decoration and export.

Artisans crafted these pieces using sheet bronze or copper, shaping figures from behind using the repousse technique and detailing the front surface with chiselling and chasing tools to create depth and texture.

Authentic period pieces feature uneven hand-hammering on the reverse, natural surface patination or oxidisation in deeper recesses, and varied hand-tooling rather than uniform modern machine casting.

Mount the plaque on a neutral wall, display it using a easel stand atop a console table, or integrate it into a curated shelf arrangement alongside modern art and ceramic forms.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid chemical polishes, applying a light coat of microcrystalline wax if necessary to protect the natural aged patina from atmospheric moisture.
