FAQs

Grand Tour intaglios are relief impressions or cast medallions depicting historical figures, classical motifs, or artwork, originally collected by European travellers during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as mementos of cultural education.

Intaglio casts were typically crafted from fine plaster of Paris or gypsum wax, mounted onto velvet or paper backing boards, and presented inside protective ebonised, glazed, or gilt-wood frames.

Authentic nineteenth-century intaglios display crisp, fine detail in the plaster profile moulding, natural age colouration such as subtle off-white tones, and are often housed in original glazed wooden frames with period glass.

Framed intaglio collections create visual interest when hung in narrow wall spaces, arranged as part of a gallery wall, or positioned above a sideboard alongside dark wood furniture and brass decorative accoutrements.

Keep framed intaglios in a moisture-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, and clean the exterior frame glass gently with a microfibre cloth without allowing liquid cleaner to penetrate the frame joins.
