After the antique, attributed to the Chiurazzi Foundry, Naples, second half 19th century. Bronze on original Rosso Antico marble socle Chiurazzi model no. 1, after the antique in the Museo Nazionale di Napoli (inv. 5618) – “Bronzo da Ercolano 1741” Previously misidentified as Plato Height: 70cm After the antique, Chiurazzi Foundry, Naples, second half 19th century A finely cast bronze by the Chiurazzi Foundry, Naples, after the celebrated antique excavated at Herculaneum in 1741 and now preserved in the Museo Nazionale di Napoli (inv. 5618). The model is recorded in the Chiurazzi Foundry catalogue as “N. 1 – Dionisio o Platone – Bronzo da Ercolano 1741”, indicating both the foundry’s internal model number and the Naples museum inventory of the original. The figure’s soft modelling, elaborate curls and bound taenia are characteristic of Hellenistic representations of Dionysus, though early scholars, struck by the introspective expression, also proposed identifications with Plato or other philosophers. Modern scholarship accepts the Dionysian attribution. Chiurazzi held exclusive rights to reproduce works from the Naples collections, issuing casts directly from museum models for export to collectors and institutions across Europe and America. This example, with its even dark patination and original Rosso Antico marble socle, reflects the exceptional quality for which the foundry became renowned. Provenance: Private collection at Chateau De Pesselières, France. Reference: Fonderia Chiurazzi, Napoli, catalogue no. 1 “Dionisio o Platone - Bronzo da Ercolano 1741.”

Vincenzo Raffaelli (Rome, 1783-1865) Round table, circa 1835-1845 Various coloured pebbles and marbles Tabletop: ⌀ 91.2 cm - 5.2 cm Vincenzo Raffaelli Rome, Via del Babuino 93 Performed between 1835 and 1845 ca. Round top in coloured marbles 'pebble' samples 200 ca. The round top in coloured marble that we are dealing with, is a real 'pebble' sample made of ancient 'excavation' marble and modern marble, that is, used after the sixteenth century such as Malachite, Portoro or Napoleonic Orbicular Granite etc. The particularity and rarity of this table is given by the fact that the samples of marbles used, in addition to being rare then (and even more so today), were worked differently from all the other types of samples that were made between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The sample tables of this period generally have a frame in black marble from Belgium or other fine marbles, which contains all the rare colored samples committed.
