Fine Bronze Plaque of President Abraham Lincoln selling in Original Frame Raised Relief circa 1920s
•Lovely bronze bust of President Abraham Lincoln
•Circa 1920s but could be older - the Chicago Hardware Foundry is credited with making early bronzes of President Lincoln
•Cast bronze bust that is affixed to an antique brass and bronze metallic frame
•The background is a simulated wood grain - commonly done in antique framing of the era
•The bust is an early strike, as the features are very clearly defined - many busts that you will come across have very blurred images of the President
•Maker unknown; it is unsigned
•The frame measures 6 inches wide and 9 inches long
•The bust is approx. 4 1/8 inches wide and 6¼ inches long
*This is in very good condition, with some minor surface wear and selling markings commensurate with age
•The paper backing of the metallic frame was torn and re-glued
•This fine bronze has been in my personal collection for many years, but I am down-sizing. I will also be listing some books on Abraham Lincoln, so please check back often!
