About the Item
A very finely carved 19th century Grand Tour period "Rosso Antico" marble souvenir, including Egyptian Obelisk with a Flame Finial. It is inscribed with gilt Latin lettering describing location, date of erection etc. The Grand Tour was an traditional trip taken by aristocratic young men as an educational right of passage to Italy. While the practice began in the late seventeenth century, it flourished particularly in the later half of the nineteenth century with the proliferation of rail transportation. The Grand Tour allowed the artistic appreciation of the classical past as well as the triumphs of the Renaissance. Please note that the only item available in this listing is the Flame Finial piece.
