Antique Early 1900s Wooden Bas Relief

Antique early 1900s wood bas relief

This unique antique bas-relief was hand carved in France in the early 20th century and depicts an idyllic rustic hunting scene featuring a fox and two ducks. The naïve and charming carving style gives the scene a wonderfully folk art character, while the matching wooden frame completes its rustic appearance.

The combination of the hand carved details, hunting subject and naïve craftsmanship makes this a particularly charming decorative piece. It would be a wonderful addition to a cabinet of curiosities, country style interior, rustic home, or collection of antique folk art.

After more than a century, the relief remains in good antique condition while showing various authentic signs of age and use. Over the decades, the wood has developed a beautiful natural patina that only enhances its character and charm. The original varnish has also developed a distinctive network of age-related cracks across the surface, adding further depth and authenticity to its appearance.
