All auctions / Furniture, Design & Mirrors / Drinking horn - Patinated bronze - Grand Tour bronze rhyton


Patinated bronze rhyton in the form of a drinking horn terminating in a finely modelled ram's head with curled fleece, scrolled horns and pricked ears, after the antique. The flared trumpet cup is engraved with a classical profile head, rosettes and scrolling tendrils, with a hatched rim band and a strap handle. The piece stands on a separate circular foot cast in relief with trailing ivy and berries, attached by a threaded screw. A characteristic Grand Tour souvenir, modelled on the Greek and Apulian ram-head rhytons excavated in southern Italy and admired by 19th-century travellers. Period: c. 1880–1910 Origin: Italy (probably Naples) Material: patinated bronze/brass Age-related wear to the patina with some brighter metal showing at high points and on the underside; light verdigris inside the cup and on the foot; foot detaches for cleaning. No cracks or repairs noted. Unsigned. Packed with care and with insurance.
