Bronze Hitler Wall Plaque

Product Description: This original Bronze Hitler Wall Plaque is an impressive piece of Third Reich art. It’s almost certainly a 1930s piece, featuring a profile of a young-looking Reich Chancellor. The detail is very good. The lower edge of this round plaque is emblazoned with the name “Adolf Hitler.” The bronze surface of the obverse of this plaque features a heavy age patina, lighter on the high points and thicker in the recesses, with lots of attractive toning. It may well have been displayed outdoors at some point in the past, perhaps on an official Reich building. The reverse of the plaque shows a heavy buildup of old patination to the bronze. This Bronze Hitler Wall Plaque was made with a small loop at the top for mounting it to a wall. There are no cracks, dings, dents, or other damage, and while it could be cleaned, we think the old original patina adds visual appeal. It remains an imposing piece of bronze sculpture, showing honest age, extremely evocative of the neoclassical aesthetic of the Third Reich.

Historical Description: Military, political, civil and paramilitary organizations during the Third Reich created a wide variety of non-portable awards, mostly in the form of award plaques and table medals, but also including decorative plates, various kinds of trophies, and usable gift items. These awards were generally presented in cases where a medal or award to be worn on the uniform would not be appropriate. Non-portable awards were given to winners of various types of sport contests, as well as to recognize distinguished service to military or civilian organizations, and even private companies. The table medals were typically originally awarded inside special custom fitted cases, similar to those used for some military awards. They could be made of metal, or in some cases porcelain, and were generally finely struck, and of high quality. The wall plaques were typically made of metal, often mounted to a wood base. They could feature Hitler, organizational emblems, or other military or patriotic themed decoration. There was a vast range of non-portable awards made and used during the Third Reich. Some were unique, custom works of art. There were also factories that issued catalogs filled with all kinds of different mass-produced items. After the war, most of these items that bore images of the swastika or Hitler were destroyed to comply with Allied denazification policy.
