TWO GIALLO ANTICO MODELS OF THE TEMPLES OF VESPASIAN AND CASTOR AND POLLUX ROME, 19TH CENTURY Of conventional form, set on varying variegated black marble plinths 49cm high, 15cm wide and 50cm high, 24.5cm wide and respectively Provenance: Property from the Kingshott CollectionMarble renditions of Roman monuments were popular souvenirs for Grand Tourists visiting the Eternal City during the later 18th and 19th centuries, and both temples represented by the present models were much-visited stops at the Forum Romanum. The Temple of Castor and Pollux, or Tempio dei Dioscuri, was erected in 495 century BC to commemorate the victory in the Battle of Lake Regillus. The temple was dedicated to Castor and Pollux, the twin sons of Zeus and Leda, as legend had it they fought on the side of the Romans during this battle. The iconic columns however are from a much later date, as the temple was rebuilt after a fire and dedicated by Emperor Tiberius in 6 AD. The Temple of Vespasian was built by the late Emperor's son Titus several decades later, in 79 AD.Both temples sustained significant damage including during the middle ages, and their ruinous nature likely appealed to the romantic imagination of foreign tourists. For a similar larger pair, executed in Marmo Giallo, please see Dreweatts The Collection of Sir William Whitfield CBE, 10th March 2020, lot 53 sold £21,000.Condition Report: Slight colour variance and choice of differing marble plinth bases suggestive that this is a matched pair.With characteristic veining which makes identifying cracks difficult- and in some cases may have been utilised to suggest antiquity and wear of ages.

The bronzes from this collection have largely been left untouched for at least 10 years and have therefore acquired heavy coatings of atmosphere dust and dirt. Where possible the topmost layers of this have been removed using vacuum and soft brushes but we have elected to take this no further allowing potential purchasers to determine the levels of cleaning they require in accordance with their own taste.The layers of grime/dirt do make it difficult to state the exact nature of the original surface with rubbed sections obscured. We would strongly recommend interested parties inspect them in person or send advisors to carry out first hand examination for them.Overall- heavy surface dirt notably to recesses and crevices- would appear to have had rubbing from cleaning and handling to exposed limbs. One feather to right hand boot slightly damaged. Base very dirty and with paint splashes. It does revolve well on the base though.. Some nibbles to corners of white marble plinth which is discoloured. The bronze revolves fairly freely on the base but seems fixed in position to the base making photography of underside of the bronze not possible.Please see numerous additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.All lots are available for inspection and Condition Reports are available on request.
