Bronze Portrait Plaque/medallion Henry IV Of France And Navarre

An interesting black-patinated bronze plaque/medallion of King Henry IV of France and Navarre, inscribed in Latin: “HENRICVS.IIII.D.G.FRANCORUM.ET.NAVARAE.REX”. 19th-century or earlier. Set into a walnut pulley wheel or sheave form, possibly of maritime origin. The bronze medallion is 11.8 cm in diameter.

Notes: We have not found another example of this plaque/medallion; the nearest we found was a cast-iron example with a milled/reeded edge, which this does not have. It is definitely bronze, not iron (it is not magnetic).

Condition: The portrait is in good condition, with only light wear. As it is set into walnut, we have not been able to examine the rim or reverse. The walnut sheave shows moderate wear and minor splits.

Shipping: Included to UK, EU, Canada, USA, Australia, Asia, and most other destinations. Please note that any import charges/sales taxes are the buyer's responsibility.
