About the Item
A most attractive complete set of twelve Italian 19th century Neo-Classical st. Marble, Ormolu and patinated Bronze plaques of The Twelve Caesars. Each wonderfully decorative plaque is centered by a richly chased profile of a Roman Emperor, including Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Nero and Titus, to name a few. The Emperors are showcased in intricate detail with Ormolu laurel crowns in their hair. Each patinated Bronze profile is set on a Sienna marble background surrounded by a Rosso Antico marble reserve at each corner. The plaques display thick and most impressive Black Belgian marble frames with mottled edges. Exceptional quality and extremely decorative.
These stunning plaques pay tribute to the Roman emperors immortalized by the historian Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus in his seminal work De Vita Caesarum (The Lives of the Twelve Caesars), written in the early 2nd century AD. The series includes portraits of Julius Caesar and the first eleven Roman emperors, from Augustus to Domitian—each rendered in the timeless manner of ancient medallions and classical cameos.

Austrian 19th Century Patinated Bronze, Giltwood and Ebony Wall Plaque
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
An exceptional and most decorative Austrian 19th century patinated bronze, giltwood and Ebony wall plaque signed K. Sterrer. The striking wall decor is centered by the wonderfully executed patinated bronze plaque depicting a handsome sculptor in his atelier draped in a flowing garment working on a bust of a woman resting on a stool while holding his hammer and chisel. He is standing on a wall bracket like element with an impressive open winged eagle above an acorn finial, a tied carpenter's square and a tied bell hammer with a caliper and fine foliate branches at his feet. In the background is a beautiful maiden also draped in a wonderful flowing garment siting with her legs crossed on the plinth of a capital where another maiden, possibly a statue, is standing with a globe and sextant in her hand with plaques, busts, wings and curtains above. The plaque is set within an elegant mottled giltwood frame with beautiful richly carved wrap around berried laurel bands with a fine angled ebonized Fruitwood border. All original gilt and patina throughout.
