Rescued from a historic estate, the central relief depicts a majestic stag in a forest glade, flanked by two focused hunting dogs.

The craftsmanship is characteristic of the finest Victorian foundries, with a depth of field that brings the woodland scene to life. Framed by an elegant arched border of beaded scrolls, this architectural element transcends its original purpose as a fireplace insert, serving as a commanding piece of industrial wall sculpture. An essential acquisition for a study, library, or traditional Southern home."
