Romantic bas-relief "Daphnis and Chloé"

Timeless elegance and the spirit of a cabinet of curiosities for this remarkable bas-relief. Probably sourced from the petrifying springs in St Nectaire, this sculpted plaque depicts the tender pastoral myth of Daphnis and Chloé, capturing the poetic moment when the young man removes a thorn from his companion's foot. The delicate matte ivory color is enhanced by a striking contrast: a wide marie-louise in gilded stucco and a deep frame in shiny blackened wood. • Dimensions: Height: 26 cm|Width: 23.5 cm|Thickness: 4.5 cm. • Condition: The bas-relief is in good condition. The frame has a restored chip on its lower left corner. A highly decorative piece, ideal for accentuating a collection of antique frames or adding a refined classic touch to a contemporary interior.
