Fixed charge affordable worldwide store to door shipping. Giacomo Zoffoli (circa 1731-1785) and his younger brother Giovanni ran a highly successful workshop in Rome, specialising in the casting of reproductions of antique originals that were prized by collectors and especially with travellers of The Grand Tour. Their foundry in the Via degli Avignonesi, was extensively visited by the English visitors. More commonly paired with the Borghese Vase, the Medici Vase was one of the popular models cast by the Zoffoli brothers, and was included in their list of bronzes on offer. The antique, restored, version is still part of the collection of the Uffizi Galleries. First recorded in 1598 in the inventory of the Villa Medici in Rome, it was moved to Florence in 1780 and displayed very soon afterwards. The frieze on this pair of vases is probably a depiction of the story of Iphigenia at Aulis, with Achilles, Odysseus and Agamemnon being some of the figures identified on this pair of vases.
