Antique Repousse Plaque made of Regule-Catherine D'Arragon

Regule is a stainless, resistant alloy invented in England around 1835. It replaced bronze for many artistic uses because of its relatively low cost.

Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536) was to represent a political union between a strong and powerful Spain and the up-and-coming England; instead, she became a paragon of virtue. She was the first wife of King Henry VIII who never gave up the crown even after her husband had forsaken her in his quest for a male heir.
