What is a grand tour intaglio collection?

These assemblies comprise multiple plaster or glass casts of ancient gems and sculptures collected during European travels. Travellers arranged them in custom frames as scholarly souvenirs. They function today as decorative wall art that brings neoclassical design into domestic interiors.

How do you hang framed plaster medallions?

Most pieces feature traditional picture wire or rings attached to wooden or giltwood frames. They require stable wall fixings suited to the combined weight of the frame and glass. Keep them away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect the plaster casts and velvet backgrounds.

How do you identify eighteenth century pieces?

Earlier examples often display deeper carving on marble or more delicate mounting styles associated with Georgian craftsmanship. Documentation or signature marks on the reverse can also point towards specific makers. Nineteenth-century grand tour sets generally feature larger groupings of gypsum casts arranged neatly on fabric.
