About the Item

A set of two Grand Tour marble oval medallions depicting the portraits of Roman emperors, reclaimed from an ex private British collection. Dating to the 19th century, the detailed elements, such as their stern expressions, scholarly head dress, and thick facial features, give a glimpse into who the subjects once were. Hooks to the back make these two medallions perfect for hanging on a wall in any property looking to appreciate Neoclassical and Roman styles, perhaps as a part of a bigger display.
