A pair of grand tour bronze urns by the workshop of Benedetto Boschetti, mid-19th century, Italian, each body decorated by trailing ivy and gadrooned detail, set between a pair of ram head handles, on a spreading circular base stamped 'B. BOSCHETTI ROMA', raised on a black and serpentine marble plinth,19cm wide15cm deep39cm high (2)The workshop of Benedetto Boschetti, active c.1820-1870 on the Via Condotti in Rome, was well known for the high quality of its works 'after the antique'. The workshop had a strong reputation and, in 1856, S Bonfigli noted that 'The establishment is particularly conspicuous for its great variety of marble works, bronzes etc' (A González-Palacios, 'The Art of Mosaics', 1982, p.166) and the works produced were highly sought after by the young and wealthy 'grand tourers' of the 19th century. Considered ‘the most eclectic virtuoso and certainly the most visionary of all the marmorari', Boschetti himself is recorded as having won a prize medal at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, and a bronze 'Augustus Caesar' from his workshop was exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Condition ReportOne has sustained a bit of damage in transit, resulting in the upper part of the marble plinth becoming detached, as well as the body of the urn having come unscrewed from its base, with the screw threaded - both of these issues could do with professional attention in order to rectify them. That said, both stand properly and no damage is visible when standing. Otherwise, both with general light knocks and surface wear. Some chips and knocks to corners and edges of marble plinths. Small crack to the damaged marble plinth. General wear commensurate with age and use.
