19th century
Description

A fine quality 19th century (circa 1870) Grand Tour gilt bronze reduction of 'The Warwick Vase' after the antique, probably French.

This gilt bronze vase consists of egg and dart decoration to the top with intertwined handles to either side.

The main body of the vase depicting raised masks of Classical Bacchic Gods (Gods of wine) with grape and vine leaf decoration, with lion pelts and acanthus leaf below, all supported on a fluted socle base.

‘The Warwick vase’ is an ancient Roman marble vase with Bacchic decoration that was discovered at Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli in Italy in around 1771 by Gavin Hamilton, a Scottish painter & antiquarian who also dealt in art in Rome, later sold to The Earl of Warwick where it was displayed in a commission built conservatory at Warwick Castle - the original marble vase is now on display in 'The Burrell Collection' in Scotland.

This gilt bronze vase is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

FAQs

A Grand Tour Warwick Vase reduction is a scaled-down 19th-century bronze or ormolu copy of the ancient Roman marble vase discovered at Hadrians Villa in 1771. These replicas were purchased by European aristocracy as refined mementos while visiting classical sites across Italy.

These decorative urns were cast in bronze using lost-wax or sand-casting methods, then mercury-gilded (ormolu) to create a bright, durable gold finish over the detailed metalwork.

Authentic period pieces display high-quality chased details around the Bacchic masks, woven vine handles, acanthus leaf embellishments, and appropriate age wear or oxidisation on the gilded surface and base.

Classical reductions function effectively as focal points on a mantelpiece, marble sideboard top, or within a curated bookcase, adding historical depth when paired alongside contemporary artwork.

Dust gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush and avoid harsh chemical cleaners, polishes, or moisture, which can strip the thin layer of original gilding.
