Featured Repousse copper plaque

Hello

I bought a repousse copper plaque. I'm not sure how old it is or where it's from, my googling found similar results but normally just described as antique European.

Please share your opinions.

The copper plaque measures 8cm width x 13cm height, the frame 20cm width x 25cm height.

Thanks

 

Does there seem to be a way to see the back without damaging the plaque?

 

Tricky. There's a pin in each corner holding it in place, but they're quite deep set. Might have a go tomorrow.

 

It appears to be a low relief casting rather than repoussé. And I don't see copper.

There may well be an original somewhere from which your plaque was derived. Venus Bathing or some such.

Looks cast to me. I am wondering if it is plated with copper. Is the white stuff polish? Looks like the corners were made separate and appear to be a different metal or gilded.
Frame doesn’t look very old. I like it!

 

This reminds me of depictions of Diana bathing with her nymphs. Does anyone happen to have a crescent moon on her head?

 

Here is a photo of the back. It looks like cast copper to me.

The corners are rounded and filled in I think with plaster/resin.
