AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Famesware Framed Plaster Relief Plaque with Pastoral Figures, 1970
Marked Famesware, this large decorative wall plaque combines a finely modelled plaster relief with an elaborate gilt-finished frame. The oval composition depicts two elegantly dressed figures with a dog in a richly detailed pastoral landscape, creating strong visual depth through raised modelling and softly applied colour.
The plaque presents well, with an age-consistent surface and a stable framed presentation. The gilt frame retains its richly textured ornamental finish, complementing the sculptural character of the central relief. It will be shipped exactly as shown in the photographs, so please examine all images carefully.
The combination of substantial dimensions, three-dimensional plaster modelling and an ornate gilt frame gives this piece considerably more decorative presence than a conventional flat wall picture. Pastoral figure scenes of this type remain well suited to classic, French-inspired, romantic and eclectic interiors, while the marked relief adds useful identification for collectors of vintage decorative wall art.
The work reflects the 20th-century European tradition of sculptural interior decoration, in which classical and pastoral subjects were adapted into richly framed wall pieces for domestic interiors.
Dimensions including frame:
Height: 60 cm
Width: 55 cm
Depth: 5 cm
