19th Century Grand Tour Carved Alabaster Farnese Hercules

19th century
Description

A carved alabaster Farnese Hercules, after the Antique, Italian, circa 1880.

The Farnese Hercules depicts a muscular Hercules leaning on his club, which is draped with the skin of the Nemean lion. In myth, killing the lion was his first task. He holds the apples of the Hesperides behind his back as he has just performed one of the last of The Twelve Labours. The enlarged original Roman version of this sculpture was made for the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, where it was discovered in 1546; it is now in the Naples Museum.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
