About this piece

A handpainted late 18^th century Grand Tour architectural model of a Corinthian column monument or entrance originating from Italy, c.1780.

Made from wood and composition, this decorative model is polychrome painted with a white base and vibrant highlights of gilt, instilling it with an air of grandeur. The model depicts an open void with three delicately made Corinthian style columns framing either side as if observing the architecture of Greece or ancient Rome.

It is large in scale, making an impressive object of décor in an interior seeking neoclassical influences. Additionally, it could be used a decorative niche to showcase a favourite Grand Tour statue, drawing the eye with its golden colours and impressive Italian elegance.
