19th century
Description

C19th Grand Tour bronze reduction, after the antique, of The Warwick Vase.

A finely cast C19th Grand Tour bronze reduction, after the antique, of The Warwick Vase.

The Rim with egg and dart moulding above the waisted body with intertwined grape vines and crisply sculpted faces of Bacchus, Roman Gods and a lion pelt, flanked by a pair of intertwined vine handles.

Raised on turned and moulded socle. All mounted on a Rosso marble base with chamfered edge and ormolu plinth. In excellent original condition with a good brown patina. French Circa 1860. 11.25" high x 13.5" wide x 9.25" deep.

The Antique marble original believed to date from the 2nd Century CE, was rediscovered at Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli in 1771 by the Scottish antiquarian and art dealer, Gavin Hamilton.

Who after restoration, shipped the fully restored vase to his elder nephew, George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick.

There it resided until it was sold in London in 1978 and purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Warwick Vase was declared an object of national importance,

and an export license was delayed.

Matching funds were raised, and, as it was not of sufficient archaeological value for the British Museum, it found a home at the Burrell Collection, Glasgow.

FAQs

A Grand Tour Warwick Vase is a 19th-century scale bronze replica of an ancient Roman marble urn discovered at Hadrians Villa in Tivoli in 1770. Wealthy European travellers acquired these souvenirs as symbols of classical education and refined taste.

These urns were cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, featuring detailed relief work depicting Dionysian motifs and Bacchanalian masks. The finished metal was patinated to a dark tone and typically mounted on a polished marble or stone base.

Authentic 19th-century examples exhibit detailed casting on the relief masks and entwined vine handles, accompanied by a natural dark patination from age. They feature heavy stone or marble plinths, sharp hand-finishing, and occasional foundry marks.

Position the urn on a hallway console, sideboard, or mantelpiece to serve as a central focal point. Its classical proportions balance contemporary minimalist furniture as well as traditional wood-panelled spaces.

Dust the bronze surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid abrasive metal polishes or chemical cleansers that strip the patination, and wipe the marble base with a damp cloth.
