An extremely rare, exquisite architectural model of a Doric column. England, third quarter of 18th century. Why we like it Exquisitely carved with accents in gold, this rare survivor from Britain’s golden era of Classical architecture may have been intended for an architect’s office or the study of a gentleman architect like Lord Burlington (1694–1753), famously known as the "Apollo of the Arts" and the "Architect Earl." Such exquisite decorative objects were copied from ancient Greek and Roman originals, which aspiring architects could view and sketch during their “Grand Tour” across Italy, Greece, the Ottoman Empire, and beyond. The only comparable example we have encountered was a set of three columns previously owned by Sir Albert Richardson (1880–1964)—architect, historian, writer, artist, teacher, and former President of the Royal Academy—sold by Christie’s London, 19 September...

A superb quality gilt bronze mounted urn in Verde Antico marble, now fitted as a table lamp. France or Italy, late 19th – early 20th century. Why we like it This table lamp is crafted from rare Verde Antico marble, quarried in Larissa, Thessaly, Greece. Known for its deep green color and distinct white and black veining, this marble is valued among collectors and designers for its unique character and scarcity. The stone is paired with finely cast gilt bronze mounts that provide a pleasing contrast and add subtle elegance to the piece. Verde Antico marble is considered rare and historically significant. The Corsi Collection of Decorative Stones at Oxford University Museum of Natural History catalogue entry 566. (143.2) reads: “Another of a lighter green, with white and more definite black markings. The two amazing tables in the Galleria degli Animali in the Vatican Museum are of this type. (Very rare).” Image attached to the listing. The Galleria degli Animali, or Hall of Animals, was created during the papacy of Pius VI (1775–1799) as a “stone zoo” of sorts, using ancient sculptures that were often restored and occasionally reimagined. This ambitious project brought together prominent artists of the 18th century, including Francesco Antonio Franzoni from Carrara. The artworks in this space reflect themes of nature and hunting, with coloured marbles chosen to suggest the textures and colours of animal fur, feathers, or to create eye-catching contrasts. See last two images in the listing. Combining Verde Antico marble with high-quality gilt bronze accents, this lamp is a distinctive piece that brings historical character and timeless appeal to any space. May be wired for any country. Lampshade not included. Height without shade: 53 cm / 21 in. Would you like to see more beautiful things from our collection?
