About the Item

A richly detailed Grand Tour bronze bust table lamp, attributed to the celebrated 19th-century Roman sculptor Benedetto Boschetti. Cast in dark patinated bronze, the bust depicts a heroic classical figure—likely a Greek warrior such as Achilles—wearing a crested Corinthian helmet and draped robes. It rests on a stepped black marble plinth and has been expertly adapted at a later date into a single-light table lamp, with a central bronze rod and a pleated cream silk shade. Pieces of this caliber were highly sought after by European aristocrats and American collectors traveling through Italy during the Grand Tour period, and Boschetti’s studio in Rome was one of the most prominent sources for such classical revival works. While unsigned, the fine casting, anatomical precision, and neoclassical subject matter are in keeping with known works from Boschetti’s workshop. An evocative blend of sculpture and function, this piece brings a sense of scholarly gravitas to any interior—from traditional libraries and offices to dramatic modern vignettes.
