This striking antique cast brass tiger plaque, measuring 23.5cm (l) x 9.5cm (h), features a powerful, prowling feline in a textured relief style that emphasizes its muscular form and iconic stripes. Historically, such brass animal figures gained immense popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as decorative architectural accents or furniture mounts, often influenced by the British Raj and the prevailing Victorian fascination with exotic wildlife and big game. The piece is in good vintage condition, displaying a rich, dark aged patina with significant high-point wear that reveals the bright golden brass beneath, and the reverse shows original mounting lugs and a hollow-back sand-cast texture consistent with its period manufacturing.
