brass plaque Vercingetorix - Plaque - Bronze

Decorative repoussé brass dish This decorative brass repoussé dish was made in the 19th century, more precisely during the Historicism period (between 1865 and 1890), under the Second Empire (Napoleon III) or at the very beginning of the Third Republic. Manufacturing method: Repoussé / stamped metal This dish is not a massive casting poured into a mold, but was manufactured in repoussé or mechanically stamped brass. A thin sheet of brass was pressed or hammered against a matrix (a steel or bronze mold engraved in relief) to give this shape. This type of decorative dish was not produced by a single renowned sculptor, but by dinanderie workshops and industrial art foundries of the second half of the 19th century (mainly during the Napoleon III period and the Third Republic in France). It is a semi-industrial production work, very common at that time, characterized by several elements: Motif: Vercingetorix Origin: France Era: 19th century Materials: Brass Dimensions: diameter 41 cm, depth 2.5 cm, weight 300 g With a small ring on its back to be fixed to a wall Condition: see photos Period
