About this piece
back to topA handpainted late 18th century antique architectural model of a Doric temple front originating from Italy, c.1780.
Made from wood and composition, this decorative model is polychrome painted in vibrant gilt and simulated marble tones, instilling it with an air of grandeur. The model depicts an open void with two delicately-made Doric 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 or painting, drawing the eye with its golden colours and impressive Italian elegance.
