Classical Roman Furniture
CLASSICAL ROMAN STYLE
During Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 A.D., Pompeii and Herculaneum in today’s Italy were preserved as they were on the day of their destruction. Particularly at Herculaneum, furnishings were carbonized beneath volcanic ash. This was pivotal to understanding how Classical Roman furniture was designed. Archaeological investigations and printed reproductions of discoveries would influence styles evoking this ancient civilization, from the Renaissance to neoclassicism.
While knowledge of Classical Roman furniture comes from rare surviving pieces, it is also derived from frescoes and sculptures portraying Roman life. Much of Roman art, architecture and design was informed by Greece — Roman architect, military engineer and writer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, whose timeless De architectura is taught in contemporary architecture classes and pays tribute to classical architecture, visited Greece while working under Julius Caesar and admired the country’s architectural developments. The Roman solium references the Greek thronos, a stately chair of honor with an upright form and footstool. As the Roman Empire spread across Europe and into North Africa and Western Asia, the expansion of trade for silver, silk, marble and wood allowed for more luxurious designs.
Classical Roman furniture was made from bronze, wood and stone — in particular, marble — with ornate touches like tortoiseshell veneers, bone and glass inlays and claw feet. Ornaments depicting lion heads and mythological figures were sculpted from silver, bronze and ivory. Compared to the decorative attention given to the mosaic floors and wall paintings, however, furniture for even a wealthy house was minimal. It focused on the necessities for guests arriving for both socializing and business and the rooms housing family, relatives and enslaved people.
The triclinium dining room had banquet couches, items so prized they were sometimes interred with the deceased. Tall bronze or terracotta candelabras held oil lamps for lighting. Carved marble tables reflected status, while the lararium home shrine demonstrated faith.

LITERATURE:
Rinaldi Tufi, S., Yorkshire. ‘Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani (Great Britain)’; vol. 1, fasc. 3, Yorkshire. Oxford University Press, 1983; 23, no. 38, pl. 12
In AD 306, Constantine was hailed emperor in the Roman city of York; he was the first emperor to convert to Christianity. Born in Naissus, the son of Flavius Constantius, and Helena, a woman of low birth and a christian. Following his campaigns in the eastern provinces, Constantine was recalled in 305 AD to fight alongside his father in the province of Britannia. After his father’s death in 306 AD, Constantine was acclaimed as ‘imperator’ by his army at Eboracum (York) eventually being declared victorious after the civil wars against emperors, Maxentius and Licinius to become sole ruler of the Roman Empire in 324 AD.
Constantine’s Christian belief cannot be underestimated, establishing the foundations of ‘Western Christendom’. In 313 AD he was influential in the proclamation of the ‘Edict of Milan, declaring tolerance of Christianity within the Roman Empire.

Pair of Antique Italian Carved Marble Bacchanalian Garden Urns, 19th C or Older
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Pair of Antique Italian Marble Bacchanalian Garden Urns
19th Century or Older
After the Roman Antiquity, influences of the Medici and Borghese Vases
We are pleased to offer this remarkable pair of Antique (19th Century or Older) Italian Marble Bacchanalian Garden Urns, These stunning examples bear the unmistakable influence of Roman Antiquity, referencing design attributes of the renowned Medici and Borghese Vases.
Hand carved with with subtle detail, these large-scale, bell-shaped marble kraters boast a beautiful captivating weathered patina. Each urn features an everted gadrooned rim and is adorned with a continuous frieze of Bacchanalian standing figures, their forms in a naturalistic landscape with grapes and leaves. These figurative elements are masterfully hand-carved.
Resting on ribbed bottoms and featuring different carved medallion portrait handles, the urns are supported by a spreading fluted stem, which in turn is elevated on either a larger or smaller square marble plinth.
The urns are set upon different-sized marble plinths. One stands regally on a larger 19-inch square x 6-inch base plinth, elevating the pictured height to a majestic 42.5 inches. The other urn is gracefully displayed on a 6-inch square x 3-inch high marble plinth, creating an enchanting 40.5-inch height in the overall composition, adding an element of versatility to your interior or outdoor space.
The urns without the added marble plinths have dimensions of 37.5 inches in height and 25 inches in width (including the handles) on an 11-inch circular base, these garden urns make a bold statement. Furthermore, the interior measurements of the urns are 12.5 inches deep with a 13-inch diameter.
