Bronze bust from the 1600s depicting a young boy with wavy hair and a robe gathered around the neck ending in an oval section with a beaded edge. This ancient bronze knob in the shape of a human head was used as a handle in period furniture and was originally used as a chest of drawers knob, fixed to the front of the drawer via a threaded bar placed inside which evidently broke over time and was replaced by two bars fixed to the tin-welded sheet metal on the base.
Stunning original patina. Northern central Italy 1600. less
