Catalogue Note
The neo-classical border, in this instance one of anthemion, and the bold Etruscan scene centring the top relate to work by Carlo Paoletti. He produced very similar detailing in this decorative 'antique' manner. Paoletti held the post of master in scagliola at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence between 1801 and 1821.
