Know before you buy
This plaque is cast in high-quality designer resin, which allows for the intricate detail of the bas-relief sculpting while remaining durable and manageable in weight.
The plaque features a flat back profile, making it suitable for standard wall-hanging hardware. Given its 3-pound weight, a sturdy nail or a small wall hook is sufficient for secure display.
No, the piece features a two-tone antique stone and powder blue finish. This intentional contrast highlights the bas-relief details and gives the sculpture a classical, aged appearance.
Yes, this plaque is designed as a companion piece to the 'Night Angel' roundel. Both pieces share the same dimensions and aesthetic style, making them ideal for a symmetrical display.
While the resin construction is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor wall decor. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions may cause the antique finish to fade or degrade over time.
