Grand Tour Statuary Marble Relief of a Roman Emperor
About the Item
A mid 18th century Grand Tour white statuary marble relief of a Roman emperor, possibly Augustus Caesar, presented on a custom-made steel stand as pictured.
Deeply carved in relief, this antique bust is to be celebrated for its good quality carving, the emperor’s facial features clear and distinctive after more than 270 years.
Originating from Italy, this piece was likely acquired by a collector as part of an adventurous 18th century Grand Tour. Today, it is a superb collector’s piece, showcasing original makers marks to the reverse and a paper label inscribed ‘A. and M. Coleridge Collection’ (pictured).
Provenance
Ex. collection of Kenneth Neame, London antiques dealer.
After studying architecture at Cambridge, Neame began his career as an antiques dealer. He opened his first shop in Handel’s House, Brook Street, Mayfair and it soon became a must-visit destination for clients staying at the nearby Claridges. In 1990, the business relocated to Mount Street before finally closing after seven decades of acquiring antiques for an array of prestigious clients.
His remaining stock came onto the market, some of which previously formed part of his own private collection at his home in Cadogan Square, London.
