Pair Rouge Marble ‘Grand Tour’ Models of Ruins Celebrating the Corinthian Order
About the Item
A Large and Incredible Pair of Rouge Marble ‘Grand Tour’ Models of Ruins Celebrating the Corinthian Order, Most Probably Attributed To The Workshop Of Benedetto Boschetti. The fist temple on the left representing The Temple of Castor hand-carved and hand-polished from Red Rouge Marble with three highly detailed columns which support an upper rectangular sectioned pediment with incredible craftsmanship, further resting on a black marble base. The right most temple represents The Temple of Vespasian and Titus which is configured with three triangular formed columns which consist of a top section pediment with hand-carved decoration with a inscription in gold with 'ESTITVER'. The temple rests on a black marble base. These monumental temple models are extremely rare to find in this size, and even more rare to find in this rouge marble material. They were made as souvenirs in the grand tour era to be purchased by wealthy individuals on their travels to Italy. Another example of these can be found in a picture from the International Exhibition in London, England in 1862, which was found at the Italian Court
