Neoclassical Rhyton Made Of Reconstituted Stone, Garden Ornament, Late 19th Century.
Large rhyton made of reconstituted stone, modeled after the one in the Capitoline Museum, late 19th century. Similar models can be found at the Château de Chantilly.
Ornamentation for parks and gardens in the form of copies of ancient sculptures was in vogue in the late 19th century, reflecting in the decorative arts a taste for antiquity that had been developing for about a century, further heightened by 19th-century archaeological discoveries, particularly at Pompeii. Plaster ornamental models were sold to facilitate the creation of carved or cast replicas.
