A Pair of Circular Silvered Metal Relief Portrait Plaques in the Style of Jean Swan Gordon - A pair of circular framed relief portrait plaques depicting profile busts in stylized 17th-century period dress. One plaque features a cavalier with a wide-brimmed feathered hat and lace collar, while the companion piece depicts a lady with elaborate curled hair and a draped bodice. The figures are constructed from silvered metallic relief, likely silver-plated base metal or pewter, mounted against a dark fabric ground. Each is protected by a circular domed glass cover and set within a deeply moulded circular wooden frame with a polished finish. The works are in the style of mid-20th-century silver portraits by Jean Swan Gordon, although no visible signatures or hallmarks are present to confirm the attribution or metal purity. The wooden backboards are secured with screws and each retains a brass hanging ring.
