Questions About Antique Relief Sculpture
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    In sculptures, relief work is a term for details on a work of art. It describes three-dimensional forms that extend from a flat surface. A piece shows off low or high relief depending on how far the three-dimensional elements protrude. Shop a selection of relief sculptures on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are three types of relief in sculpting: high, sunken and bas. The difference between the type of reliefs is how deeply carved the figures are on the surface. Shop a wide range of collectable sculptures on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The three types of relief sculptures are low relief (the motifs are very slightly raised above the surface), high relief (the sculpture protrudes at least half of its own height from the surface) and sunken relief (the sculpture is actually below the surrounding surface).
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
