Description

A pair of small mid 19th century French patinated bronze models of the Albani Vase, each modelled "after the antique", with beaded and egg-and-dart cast everted rims, the bodies with projecting masks of men. Each with twin handles cast as entwined vines and standing on waisted and fluted socles with circular bases. The antique marble vase was at the Villa Albani in Florence and such souvenirs of the Grand Tour were sold to wealthy northern Europeans visiting the ancient sites and art collections of Italy.
