About the Item

Cameo or intaglio, Cupid guiding lions. Glass. Possibly, Italy, 19th century. You can see, in the foreground, a naked and winged child figure, Cupid (or Eros, god of love), guiding two lions, which pull a chariot (note the wheel). These scenes were common in divine processions, especially in the case of Cybele or Mars. These types of pieces were created in a significant number as they were highly appreciated as souvenirs by Grand Tour travelers, often several being put together to make collections. · Size: 2,5x0,4x1,7 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
