About the Item

This striking pair of 19th-century French Grand Tour gilt equestrian plaques, signed "Henry," exemplifies the grandeur and craftsmanship of the period. Each plaque is meticulously cast in gilt bronze, depicting dynamic equestrian scenes and courting couples with finely detailed horses and riders in motion. The plaques are mounted on faux porphyry painted wood backings, enhancing their classical aesthetic and providing a luxurious, marble-like appearance that complements the rich gold tones of the bronze. The plaques are signed "Henry," indicating the work of a skilled artisan of the time. The artistry in these pieces captures the nobility and grace of the horses and riders, making them a sophisticated representation of the neoclassical art prized during the Grand Tour era. Measures: 9" w x 6.25" h x .75" d.
