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.
