18th Century, Architectural Model of Doric Column
Located in London, GB
An extremely rare, exquisite architectural model of a Doric column
England, third quarter of 18th century.
Why we like it
Exquisitely carved and having accents picked out in gold, this extremely rare survivor from the golden era of Classical architecture in Britain was perhaps intended for an architect's office, or for a study of a gentleman architect, such as Lord Burlington (1694–1753), who was famously known as the "Apollo of the Arts" and the "Architect Earl". Such exquisite and decorative objects were copied from ancient Greek and Roman originals, that aspiring architects could see and draw during their 'Grand Tour' in Italy, Greece, Ottoman Empire and etc.
The only other comparable example of such rare objects that we came across was a set of three columns, previously owned by the late Sir Albert Richardson (1880–1964), architect, historian, writer, artist, teacher and sometime President of the Royal Academy – sold by Christie’s London, 19 September...

Antique 18th Century Architectural Model in Palladian Style, circa 1750
Located in London, GB
A superb quality George II period architectural model in mahogany and ebony, mounted with an Egyptian 'Imperial Porphyry' roundel.
England, circa 1750.
Why we like it
Exquisitely detailed throughout, this splendid object would have had a proud place in an Enlightenment era gentleman's library, along with the antiquities brought from the Grand Tour, natural history specimens, scientific instruments and books.
Mounted with a porphyry roundel, on a simulated porphyry base. 'Imperial Porphyry' comes from 600 million-year-old volcanic rock from Gabal Abu Dukhan quarry in the Eastern Desert of Egypt which was discovered by Romans in AD 18. It is highly prized for its rarity and noble 'Imperial' purple color, symbolizing power. Pieces such as this roundel were often cut from broken ancient pieces, excavated and 'upcycled' in the 17th-18th centuries.
Beautifully designed in the classical tradition, introduced by Andrea Palladio...
