About this piece
back to topAn antique late 19th century terracotta plaque by 19th century Danish artist Peter Ipsen (1815-1860). The dramatic scene illustrates soldiers following a chariot while an angel and male figure lead its path.
At over 150 years old, this decorative plaque is finished in distressed paint, giving it a desirable time worn look.
The original handcrafted details have stood the test of time, the subject still eye-catching and distinctive on the rich terracotta background. It is a superb Grand Tour piece Danish history that would take pride of place in any home.
