About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This authentic Roman amphora, a Dressel or Pascual type vessel from a marine excavation, is a major archaeological piece. Kept in a private collection for several decades, it embodies a fragment of ancient history, ideal for enriching a discerning interior design.
Made of terracotta, the amphora is entirely covered with a thick layer of original marine concretions, a mixture of calcareous sediments and fossilized remains. Its raw patina, ranging from grayish-white to rusty brown, testifies to its centuries spent underwater. It is presented on a custom-made wrought-iron base, ensuring its stability and showcasing its beauty.
The state of preservation of this piece is remarkable for its age. The neck and the two characteristic handles are completely intact, preserving the object's original shape. The surface textured by marine elements gives it a unique and authentic character.
This amphora integrates perfectly into a classic or contemporary interior, adding a historical and sculptural dimension. It will find its place on a console table, in a bookcase, or as a focal point in a living room, engaging in a dialogue with fine materials and works of art.
