Large, handsome miniature depicting a trophy allegory of the Sea in gilded bronze, with dolphins twisted by their tails holding a trident of Neptune. The piece stands out from a background simulating Swedish green porphyry, the whole presented in a beautiful rectangular frame with oval view in lemon-tree veneer.
A fine, refined object typical of souvenirs of the Grand Tour, the aristocratic educational journey across Europe undertaken by young men from the highest classes of European society from the 17th to the 19th century. Ideal for completing a 19th-century neoclassical decor with one of those little details that make for an authentic atmosphere.
In very good condition, made up of antique elements, the whole works very well and naturally. High-quality gilding and chasing.
Frame size: 15.5cm x 19cm
