About the Item

A 1 to 1 scale plaster reproduction of the three reliefs from the famous Ludovisi Throne, located in the Archaeological Museum of Palazzo Altemps, Rome. 460-450 BC circa. The throne has a pleasing patina from age, dating of the piece to be from the early 20th century based on the discolouration of the plaster and wooden armature. Likely produced for a museum or the like. Some age related knocks and abrasions, a good sized chip to the larger central panel on the bottom right. The left side depicts the naked girl (hetera-ierodula) playing the diaulos, right side depicts a vestal burning incense and the larger front panel depicts the birth of Aphrodite from the sea. Each section has steel hanging slots so can be wall hung, the piece also will sit together like the original throne. two smaller panels 85/69/7cm the larger 143/69/7.5cm These casts were in the possession of Edward Perry Warren in Lewes, Sussex. When he passed away in 1929, John D. Beazley, then Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art at the University of Oxford, and executor to Warren's estate, suggested to Percy Ure they be given to the Museum of Greek Archaeology (later renamed the Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology) at University of Reading to encourage the study of ancient art
