Grand Tour Italian Rosso Verona Marble Urn, 19th Century
A refined 19th-century Italian Grand Tour marble urn carved from richly veined Rosso Verona marble. This diminutive yet sculptural form captures the neoclassical elegance synonymous with the Grand Tour aesthetic—where travelers and collectors of the period sought timeless souvenirs inspired by ancient Roman and Greek art.
The urn’s deep red ground, threaded with striking white veining, highlights the natural beauty and luxurious texture of the stone. Its classical silhouette—featuring a flared rim, baluster body, and stepped square plinth—showcases exquisite proportion and craftsmanship.
Whether displayed atop a desk, console, or bookshelf, this piece offers an enduring sense of history and refinement.
