Two Bronze Grand Tour Framed Roundels
About the Item
A pair of 19th century bronze Grand Tour framed roundels, one depicting Hercules battling the Nemean Lion and another similar plaque detailed with a classical youth pouring water for a young lion.
According to Greek mythology, the divine hero Hercules was ordered to slay the Nemean Lion, a beast that could not be splintered by weapons. Hercules stunned the beast with his club and strangled it with his bare hands.
Each bronze roundel sits within a foliate border with faux painted porphyry frames, making superb wall decor pieces for interiors inspired by Grand Tour and neoclassical styles.
Provenance
Ex. collection of Kenneth Neame, London antiques dealer.
After studying architecture at Cambridge, Neame began his career as an antiques dealer. He opened his first shop in Handel’s House, Brook Street, Mayfair and it soon became a must-visit destination for clients staying at the nearby Claridges. In 1990, the business relocated to Mount Street before finally closing after seven decades of acquiring antiques for an array of prestigious clients.
His remaining stock came onto the market, some of which previously formed part of his own private collection at his home in Cadogan Square, London.
