19th Century, Grand Tour Roman Revival Amphora Style Vase After Thomas Hope

About the Item

19th Century Roman Revival Vase Grand Tour Amphora Style, After Thomas Hope This 19th-century amphora-style vase is a superb example of Roman Revival design, inspired by the neoclassical aesthetics championed by Thomas Hope. Created during the Grand Tour era, when affluent Europeans sought to bring home artistic and cultural mementos from their travels, this vase reflects a fascination with ancient Roman art and architecture. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the vase features elegant proportions and classical motifs, such as stylized handles, intricate relief decoration, and a flared lip. The form pays homage to ancient amphorae used in Greco-Roman antiquity, reinterpreted through the refined lens of neoclassicism. The design echoes Hope’s influence as an arbiter of taste in the early 19th century, known for integrating classical elements into modern decorative arts. This vase is not merely a decorative object but a testament to the 19th-century revival of antiquity, embodying the period's desire to connect with the grandeur of the classical past. Its historical and aesthetic significance makes it a prized piece for collectors and admirers of neoclassical art. Measures: 11.25" h x 6.5" w.
