THIS ANTINOUS FIREPLACE FRIEZE
GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU WARM AND COZY



JUST what you need for your Victorian fireplace mantelpiece ... a 19th Century carved wood Grand Tour mantel frieze decoration ... featuring the face of Antinous as Osiris.

The Portugal-based seller on eBay describes it thusly:

A fantastic carved wood fireplace decoration after an original design by Thomas Hope. The Greek youth Antinous.

It dates from the early 19th Century, circa 1820. I think the actual carving of the head is lime wood although the most of the bracket is pine.

English Neo Classical Countryhouse fireplace decoration.

Size 20 x 10 x 7cm.

The seller is willing to ship it worldwide. Check it out HERE
