About the Item

XVII Century Renaissance Venetian Rosso Verona marble wellhead/cistern with wrought iron top pulley over octagonal base, Italy By: unknown Material: marble, stone, iron, wrought iron, metal Technique: carved, cast, forged, hammered, hand-carved, hand-crafted, metalwork, molded Dimensions: 72.5 in x 110.5 in Date: 17th century Style: Renaissance, Baroque, Grand Tour Place of origin: Italy Carved in Rosso Verona marble, this 17th-century Venetian wellhead/cistern reflects the refined sculptural language of the Italian late Renaissance with Baroque inflections. The cylindrical body displays a rich decorative program in high relief, featuring vegetal motifs, amphorae, and four distinct mascarons: a young woman, an elderly man, a leonine head, and a grotesque simian face, each expressing a vivid physiognomic variation. Garlands cascade between them, terminating in ornamental vases, reinforcing the symmetrical rhythm of the design. The wellhead rests on an octagonal base composed of two segments for ease of transport and installation. Above rises a wrought iron pulley structure—likely a posterior addition—composed of elegantly curved supports converging at a central finial, from which a bucket still hangs. The detailing of the pulley showcases fine blacksmithing, striking a balance between functionality and formal elegance. Venetian wellheads of this period served both practical and decorative purposes, often occupying prominent positions in palaces, courtyards, and public spaces like squares as symbols of civic pride and sculptural sophistication. Dimensions: - Total height: 110.63 in (281 cm) - Height of wrought iron pulley: 66.93 in (170 cm) - Body height with base: 43.70 in (111 cm) - Body height without base: 35.83 in (91 cm) - Octagonal base diameter: 72.44 in (184 cm) - Octagonal base length: 68.90 in (175 cm) - Well mouth diameter: 48.03 in (122 cm) Approximate weight: 1985 lbs (900 kg) The piece displays wear consistent with its date, the passage of time, and use, as evident in the photographs.
