Italian Gilt Glass Grand Tour–Style Medallions - Pair
A refined and beautifully detailed pair of vintage gilt glass reliefs from Italy, each depicting a classical male profile rendered in luminous gold against a deep black ground. These portrait medallions evoke the elegance of Grand Tour–era souvenirs, where collectors sought miniature works celebrating antiquity, architecture, and ancient portraiture.
The medallions are housed in their original giltwood frames—richly patinated, square in form, and accented with rosette corners and a circular inset that beautifully cradles each relief. The combination of the black-and-gold imagery and the warm Italian gilding creates a striking interplay of depth and contrast, making these pieces ideal for intimate wall groupings, library shelves, or layered vignette styling.
