Product Description

A very fine and early pair of Roman Neoclassical Period Grand Tour Sienna marble models of the Temple of Castor and Pollux and the temple of Vespasian, early 1800’s Italian.

In the 18th and 19th centuries no gentlemen’s education was considered complete until he made a Grand Tour of the famous sights of the ancient European world. This pair of elegant temple porticos would forever serve as reminders of Greece or Rome. Crafted from marbles of various colorts, the Corinthian style capitals are particularly well carved.
