Romeinse Keizers - set van 4 rosso levanto Beide potten zijn uitgevoerd in

Beide potten zijn uitgevoerd in wit porselein met een dicht floraal rankwerk in indigoblauw: gestileerde bloemen en bladranken die het hele oppervlak vullen

in which the regal bearing of the supreme god was rendered with great finesse

facing inward so the two work as a matched pair

this is more than a decorative object

The hand finish and the subtle antique look give the jar the character of a collector's piece

Romeinse Keizers - set van 4 rosso levanto Beide potten zijn uitgevoerd inThis set of four marble medallions shows the profile portraits of the Roman emperors Caligula, Caesar, Claudius and Augustus. Each white marble relief is set against a dark marble ground that frames the classical outline, in the tradition of the portrait galleries of the Caesars favoured in neoclassical interiors. Every medallion is hand carved, with the laurel wreaths, drapery and facial features picked out in crisp detail. Each one measures 48 cm
