Bas-relief (from the French bas, meaning "low", and relief) refers to a sculptural technique where figures or designs are slightly raised from a flat background. It creates a subtle, shallow three-dimensional effect, commonly seen in architectural details, coins, and decorative panels. Unlike high relief, where elements project dramatically, bas-relief is more understated—almost like a carving that barely lifts from the surface.

This piece depicts Joséphine Bonaparte, born Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de La Pagerie in Martinique in 1763, was the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress of the French from 1804 to 1810.  Sourced from an estate in Aix-en-Provence. 

Note the signs of age and wear as pictured.

They have such great products I could not stay away. I don't live near their store so I did not expect to be able to purchase furniture online at a decent shipping rate. I was so happy to see that the shipping rate was amazing and the customer service even better. I highly recommend them and will most likely purchase from them again!
