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.
