Back side is strange,
Contrast with reverse side, Maybe later made ?? Unusual iron fittings and handles Looks like old pot/cauldron handles ... |

My gut instinct is a Victorian historicism piece. The arm strap should be leather with a buckle so it can be adjusted to suit the arm and the handle should be straight with square corners to provide a good grip, that curve would be horrible to hold. Also there is no sign that there was ever any padding fitted beneath the grips to cushion the arm.

What are the dimensions? It looks small to me.
The screw holes in the 'arm loops' are another concern; countersunk like the one on the left screams more modern construction and like it is meant to be part of a larger display. |

Hello,
Yes it 's smaller than usual targes : 37cm/14,5 inches in diameter. Maybe because it s too heavy ? Deco ( victorian ?) / or rapported pieces in a smaller circle ?? I can't say much for the moment... |
