Lot 444
ATTRIBUTED TO BENEDETTO BOSCHETTI (ITALIAN, 1820-1870), AN MODEL OF A ROMAN FLUTED SARCOPHAGUS MID 19TH CENTURY Depicted with a pair of lions, in Rosso Antico marble 12cm high, 24cm wide Provenance: The Simon Neal Collection Ancient Roman sarcophagi were popular objects among Grand Tourists and so small-scale models of them, carved in coloured marbles, were made by artisans in Rome to cater for such a demand. This exquisite model of an ancient Roman sarcophagus is decorated with fluted carving and flanked by a pair of pacing lions with their paws resting on spheres - no doubt inspired by the ancient sculpture known as 'The Medici Lion', which resided at the Villa Medici in Rome in the 16th century, before being moved to the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence in the 18th century. Since the 2nd century A.D., marble sarcophagi were widely used throughout the Roman empire for burials of distinguished people. The iconography depicted on such sarcophagi were generally the same as those chosen to decorate homes and public spaces, but they acquired different meanings when viewed in a funerary context. Scholars are divided on whether sarcophagi images are highly symbolic of Roman religious beliefs and conceptions about death and the afterlife or reflect a love of classical culture that was intended to elevate the status of the deceased or were simply conventional decorative motifs. Condition Report: Some old chips and 'nibbles' to edges. Some glue residue visible between the feet and the underside. Some filler applied in two places to the underside - see image.Chips of loss to one of the paw feet and base beneath - see images. Another paw foot with an old glued repair to toes and base beneath - see images. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

ATTRIBUTED TO BENEDETTO BOSCHETTI (ITALIAN, 1820-1870), A MODEL OF A ROMAN OIL LAMP IN ROSSO ANTICO MARBLE MID 19TH CENTURY 11cm high, 17cm wide Provenance: The Simon Neal Collection The quality of this model of a Roman oil lamp, which appears in the shape of a satyr's head, is indicative that it was likely made by the workshop of Benedetto Boschetti (1820 - 1870). Boschetti was perhaps the most famous sculptor making small scale models in coloured marbles, that were based on the antique prototypes, for the Grand Tour market in Rome, during the mid-19th century. Indeed, in his well-respected Guide to the Studios in Rome, written for the Grand Tourists, Francesco Saverio Bonfigli described Benedetto Boschetti's bottega as "conspicuous for its great variety of marble works, bronzes, candelabras, table tops, etc. besides a rich collection of the best mosaics and shell engravings". Condition Report: Surface is slightly dirty from atmosphere and handling,very small edge marks- there are two lighter surface patches to base of body either side of stem support- quite what this is? It may be a historic restoration- or at least repining to connect the 2 elements and ensure greater stability?Black plinth with chips to underside of front edgePlease see additional images which form part of this condition reportCondition Report Disclaimer
Lot 510
WORKSHOP OF BENEDETTO BOSCHETTI (ITALIAN, 1820-1870), A MODEL OF A ROMAN OIL LAMP IN GIALLO ANTICO LATE 19TH CENTURY 15cm high, 17cm wide Provenance: The Simon Neal Collection This model of a Roman oil lamp, which is carved from a variety of Giallo Antico marble that has a distinctive pinkish hue, was perhaps made by the workshop of Benedetto Boschetti (1820 - 1870). During the middle decades of the 19th century, he was one of the most renowned sculptors making small scale models in coloured marbles, that were based on the antique prototypes. His atelier at 74 via Condotti was a popular tourist destination and appeared in guidebooks drawn up for the ever-growing number of well-heeled visitors to the 'Eternal city'.
