Antique gilt metal relief bust depicting the Duke of Wellington in profile, shown wearing military dress uniform with epaulettes, medals and ceremonial cords. Heavy cast metal construction with threaded fixing stud to the rear. The piece displays attractive age-related wear, with much of the original gilt finish now worn, revealing a darker patinated surface beneath. There is also some verdigris and surface wear consistent with age. A decorative and characterful piece of 19th-century Wellington memorabilia, ideal for collectors of military, historical or Victorian decorative antiques. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
