About the Item

Set of 6 Antique Classical Antiquities Engravings, Sculpture Medals, 18th C. The map is offered unframed, giving flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. Attached an image to give an idea how it can look like when framed as a set on the wall. This cohesive set of six original 18th-century engravings presents a scholarly and visually compelling survey of classical antiquities, combining ancient sculpture, reliefs, engraved gems, medals, and numismatic studies. Each plate is densely composed with carefully engraved figures drawn after celebrated antique marbles and objects, reflecting the Enlightenment-era fascination with the systematic study of Greco-Roman art. The engravings originate from an important antiquarian publication and were produced as comparative plates, intended to be read together. Statues of gods and heroes, portrait busts, mythological scenes, and coins are arranged in structured compositions, allowing the viewer to compare iconography, pose, and symbolism across different ancient sources. The balance between full-length sculptural figures and smaller medallion studies gives the set strong visual rhythm and intellectual depth. Offered together, the six plates form a unified ensemble rather than a group of unrelated sheets. Their consistent engraving style, paper tone, format, and subject matter make them particularly suitable for collectors of classical art, libraries, universities, and interior designers seeking an authentic museum-style wall arrangement. Displayed as a 2 × 3 grid, the set reads as a curated antiquities cabinet on paper, evoking the atmosphere of an 18th-century study or modern luxury interior inspired by classical culture. Selling the plates as a complete group preserves their original intent as a comparative series and significantly enhances both their visual impact and historical coherence. This is an ideal acquisition for anyone interested in classical sculpture, early art history, archaeology, or refined architectural and library interiors. Condition report: Good antique condition throughout. Uniform age-related toning to the paper, light spotting and mild edge wear consistent with 18th-century engravings. Plates remain crisp with strong impressions and clear engraved detail. No major tears or losses observed. Framing tips: Best presented as a cohesive 2 × 3 gallery-wall arrangement. Frame each plate in dark walnut or ebonized wood with wide ivory or warm off-white mats to complement the aged paper. Museum or UV-protective glazing is recommended for long-term preservation and an elevated, library-style presentation. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: After classical antiquities, published in Europe, 18th century
