About the Item

PAIR OF GRAND TOUR POLISHED MARMO AFRICANO MARBLE SPHERES Circa early 19th century over shaped rock plinth Item # C104033 A gorgeous pair of 19th century decorative marmo marble spheres on shaped rock bases, they were likely intended both to present sculpturally and for use as paperweights. The old stone is beautifully worn with a naturally developed patina throughout from handling and wear over the years; they rest over bases that have a brilliant glow from handling, polishing and waxing over the years. A lovely and rather infrequently found pair. Provenance: *Acquired at Walpole Antiques, London for a private collection in Virginia Measurements: 5" H x 4 1/2" W [reddish sphere and stand]; 5 1/2" H x 3 3/4" W [gray sphere and stand] Condition Report: Minor wear to overall polish; light chipping and scratching to patinated stone bases.
