Vintage Framed Reproduction Grand-Tour Intaglio High Relief Seals

Elevate your interior with this sophisticated vintage shadowbox collection of eleven Vintage Reproduction Grand Tour Intaglio seals, a refined nod to the classic 19th-century European academic tradition. These meticulously detailed cream-colored medallions are artfully mounted against a stark black background, highlighting a diverse array of neoclassical scenes, mythological figures, and noble profiles in crisp relief. Each intaglio bear signs of wear, discoloration and general age. The collection is housed in a substantial, high-quality wood frame featuring a striking faux-bois striped pattern in warm amber and mahogany tones, further enhanced by a delicate gold-leaf inner fillet that adds a touch of brightness to the display.

This piece remains in very good vintage condition and carries a prestigious pedigree, featuring the original Soicher-Marin Fine Art label on the reverse, which identifies it as a custom-framed work titled "Eleven Seals" (Style P-3293A). While the frame shows significant surface scuffs and character-building wear consistent with its age, the structural integrity and visual impact remain excellent. Measuring as a prominent statement piece, this framed set serves as a stately focal point, perfect for adding a sense of history and intellectual curiosity to a library, study, or gallery wall. When up close to the glass fibers from the textile backing have clung to the inside of the glass. Only noticeable upon close inspection, not noticeable when hung for display.

The name "Pollard's" on the custom label refers to Pollard's Home Furnishings, a high-end furniture and interior design firm based in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Known for curating luxury home decor and designer accessories, Pollard's frequently commissioned custom-framed pieces from prestigious art houses like Soicher-Marin Fine Art for their design clients. The "Culver City, CA" address on the label reflects the location of the Soicher-Marin studio where the piece was handcrafted.
