Classical Roman Furniture

CLASSICAL ROMAN STYLE

During Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 A.D., Pompeii and Herculaneum in today’s Italy were preserved as they were on the day of their destruction. Particularly at Herculaneum, furnishings were carbonized beneath volcanic ash. This was pivotal to understanding how Classical Roman furniture was designed. Archaeological investigations and printed reproductions of discoveries would influence styles evoking this ancient civilization, from the Renaissance to neoclassicism.

While knowledge of Classical Roman furniture comes from rare surviving pieces, it is also derived from frescoes and sculptures portraying Roman life. Much of Roman art, architecture and design was informed by Greece — Roman architect, military engineer and writer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, whose timeless De architectura is taught in contemporary architecture classes and pays tribute to classical architecture, visited Greece while working under Julius Caesar and admired the country’s architectural developments. The Roman solium references the Greek thronos, a stately chair of honor with an upright form and footstool. As the Roman Empire spread across Europe and into North Africa and Western Asia, the expansion of trade for silver, silk, marble and wood allowed for more luxurious designs.

Classical Roman furniture was made from bronze, wood and stone — in particular, marble — with ornate touches like tortoiseshell veneers, bone and glass inlays and claw feet. Ornaments depicting lion heads and mythological figures were sculpted from silver, bronze and ivory. Compared to the decorative attention given to the mosaic floors and wall paintings, however, furniture for even a wealthy house was minimal. It focused on the necessities for guests arriving for both socializing and business and the rooms housing family, relatives and enslaved people.

The triclinium dining room had banquet couches, items so prized they were sometimes interred with the deceased. Tall bronze or terracotta candelabras held oil lamps for lighting. Carved marble tables reflected status, while the lararium home shrine demonstrated faith.

Vintage Boho Cast Marble Bust of Marcus Aurelius
Vintage Boho Cast Marble Bust of Marcus Aurelius

Vintage Boho Cast Marble Bust of Marcus Aurelius

Located in West Palm Beach, FL

This striking vintage bust of a youthful Marcus Aurelius is a masterful example of Neoclassical revival design. Crafted from high-quality cast marble, the sculpture captures the serene expression and iconic, deeply textured curls synonymous with Greco-Roman antiquity. The smooth, polished finish of the bust provides a sophisticated contrast to the heavily distressed black wooden plinth upon which it rests. This intentional juxtaposition of classical form and rustic weathering makes it an ideal statement piece for those who appreciate a curated, academic aesthetic with a hint of bohemian flair. Measuring 8.5" wide, 8.5" deep, and 14.5" tall, this sculptural head is perfectly scaled to anchor a curated bookshelf, an entryway console, or an executive study. It is in great vintage condition, displaying minor surface scuffs and an authentic patina that only serves to enhance its storied character. The distressed finish on the base adds a layer of historic depth, suggesting a piece that has been cherished across generations. Whether anchoring a traditional gallery or adding a timeless touch to a modern home, this Marcus Aurelius bust...

Pope Francis and the New Vatican Draper, Robert Hardcover Book

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

Pope Francis and the New Vatican Draper, Robert hardcover book Title: Pope Francis and the New Vatican Publisher: National Geographic Publication Date: 2015 Binding: Hardcover Book condition: Very good Dust jacket condition: Dust jacket included Synopsis: National Geographic goes behind-the-scenes of the new papacy with unprecedented, exclusive access to Pope Francis. Embedded with the Pope inside the Vatican for 6 months, award-winning photographer David Yoder captures intimate moments in never-before-seen photographs presented here for the first time--including in the Sistine Chapel with the Pope alone on Christmas Day. These extraordinary images reveal the majesty and splendor of the Vatican alongside the humbleness of the man changing it--a compelling juxtaposition. The pontiff's public life and personal crusades are exposed as never before, as well as the inner workings of the Vatican--a uniquely powerful state. Complementary essays by acclaimed journalist and author Robert Draper--drawn from interviews around the world with many who had never spoken publicly before--insightfully cover Pope Francis's personal story, his journey to the papacy, and the heart of his ministry. The book also features a timeline, maps, and Pope Francis's most inspiring words...
