Pair of Grand Tour Marble Medallions of Roman Emperors

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.

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.
