Dutch Relief Pressed Brass Repoussé Wall Plaque in Wood Frame

This rectangular wall plaque features a highly detailed repoussé brass panel, likely of Dutch or British origin, dating typically from the late 19th to early 20th century. The central relief scene depicts a classic pastoral or hunting landscape with figures, dogs, and horses under trees, reflecting the 17th-century Dutch Master style. The brass work is characterized by a central narrative panel enclosed by a chased decorative border of repeating circle motifs, all set within a wider stippled brass field. The metal exhibits a rich, aged patina with significant darkening in the recessed areas, which provides depth and contrast to the high-relief highlights. The plaque is mounted in a simple, dark-stained oak or mahogany frame featuring rounded boss or knob-like corner ornaments. The condition appears fair to good for its age; there is visible tarnishing, surface oxidation, and some minor scratching on the brass surface. The wooden frame shows a dull finish with light scuffing, particularly on the edges. The construction suggests mass production from the Victorian or Edwardian eras intended for middle-class home decor to emulate traditional handcrafted metalwork.
