This pair of cast metal plaques is identified by visual consensus as corner pocket face ornaments for a billiard table. Each plaque features a high-relief neoclassical male head with curly hair, framed by a broad, flaring, fluted foliate ruff. The lower portion of each ornament transitions into symmetrical scrollwork ending in a small central finial at the base. The second image reveals the hollow-cast construction and an integral, deep bowl-shaped receptacle on the reverse, designed to receive billiard balls at the pocket opening. Each piece is pierced with three circular mounting holes for attachment to the table frame. The material is cast bronze or brass with a rich, dark brown aged patina and golden highlights on the higher-relief surfaces. No maker marks, signatures, or country of origin stamps are visible.
