Grand Tour marble medallion in relief depicting Claudius, early 19th c

About the Item

An exquisite early 19th-century marble relief medallion, finely crafted to depict the Roman Emperor Claudius in profile. The relief captures Claudius adorned with a laurel wreath, symbolizing his authority and imperial status, and is rendered with remarkable attention to detail. The medallion is circular and features the inscription "CLAUDIVS" in a classic Roman font, elegantly positioned beside the profile. The relief is set in its original gilded wooden frame, which has been preserved over the centuries. The frame showcases a rich, golden patina that enhances the medallion's timeless appeal and adds a sense of grandeur to the piece. Notably, the frame shows signs of age with minor cracking and patina wear, consistent with its historical provenance, which adds to the authenticity and character of the item. This medallion is not only a beautiful work of neoclassical art but also a distinguished historical artifact that would make an exceptional addition to any collection of classical antiquities or early 19th-century decor. The diameter without frame is 16 cm and 28.5 cm with the frame.
