About the Item
This vase, crafted from Numidia Red Breccia and mounted on its accompanying console, was created in the second half of the 19th century by the sculptor Jules Cantini.
Jules Cantini (1826-1916) developed a deep familiarity with marble early in his career, working alongside his brother in a decorative sculpture workshop. He operated several quarries, first near Marseille, his hometown, and later in Italy and Algeria, where the Numidia Red Breccia for this vase was sourced. His business flourished through collaborations with various artists, and he became a significant patron of the arts. In 1908, he was awarded the Légion d’Honneur.
The design of both the vase and its pedestal is distinctly neoclassical. The base features alternating fluted quarter columns and flat panels with rectangular moldings. The top of the pedestal bears the artist’s signature. The vase’s overall form is reminiscent of the Warwick Vase, an ancient artifact discovered around 1771 in the ruins of Hadrian’s Villa, later acquired by the second Earl of Warwick, who commissioned a greenhouse specifically to house the piece. Cantini simplified the form: a molded base supports the lower part of the body, which is adorned with gadroons. Above, the concave central section is framed by two delicately sculpted handles with scrolls and vegetal interlaces, between two beadwork friezes. The upper rim flares out elegantly.
The choice of Numidia Red Breccia marble is key to the vase’s ornamental appeal. Sourced from the Kristel quarry in Algeria, this marble is prized for its decorative qualities in furniture and art objects. The carved embellishments interact beautifully with the marble’s rich, varied colors, making this vase a stunning example of its artistic and material richness.

An Italian Grand Tour Rosso Antico Marble Tazza Attributed Benedetto Boschetti

A Huge Italian Grand Tour Rosso Antico Marble Tazza Attributed to Benedetto Boschetti Mid 19th Century
Italy - Probably Rome Circa 1840-50
Provenance
The private collection of Will Fisher, antique dealer and connoisseur and the founder of Jamb Ltd
This beautiful marble tazza is carved almost entirely from Rooso Antico marble, the exception being the base section which is made from contrasting Grand Antico instead. The tazza has an egg and dart carved outspreading rim of campagna design, with wrythen snake form naturalistic handles which twist over themselves in the most virtuosic fashion. Designing the handles alone would have required the skills of a master craftsperson. The body of the tazza is strongly gadrooned and then to the front and back there are Medusa masks, the Gorgon illustrated in fearsome detail with her snake hair...
