Pair of Italian Palatial Garden Urns/Medici Vases with Carved Marble

About the Item

Pair of beautiful bell-shaped palatial garden urns carved with fine white marble depicting classical imagery of female figures and grapevines. Inspired by the ancient Roman-era Medici vase. Made in Italy, Late 18th-Early 19th Century. About the Medici Vase: The Medici Vase is a remarkable example of ancient Roman marble work that has captivated art enthusiasts for centuries. Believed to date back to the 1st century AD, the vase is a monumental piece characterized by its impressive size and intricate relief decorations. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there was a resurgence of interest in classical art and design, often referred to as Neoclassicism. This period saw a revival of ancient Roman and Greek styles, and the Medici Vase became an iconic piece that encapsulated the ideals of this era. Dimensions: 33"H x 26"D
