Pair of Italian Grand Tour Porphyry Urns Converted into Lamps, Early 1800s
About the Item
Pair of Italian Grand Tour porphyry urns converted into lamps, early 1800s. These are likely based off of antique models.
The Grand Tour was a traditional trip taken by aristocratic young men as an educational right of passage to Italy. While the practice began in the late 17th century, it flourished particularly in the later half of the 19th century with the proliferation of rail transportation. The Grand Tour allowed the artistic appreciation of the classical past as well as the triumphs of the Renaissance.
