19th-Century Bronze Acanthus Cartouche | Salvaged Mount

Sweeping acanthus leaves curl around the blank, scroll-edged center of this 19th-century bronze mount. The stippled ground brings the raised leaves into focus, and the small holes show where the fitting was once fastened. It has enough depth and detail to display on its own, even after being separated from the piece it once adorned.
