Pair of Italian Alabaster Wall Plaques with Gilded Frames – Neoclassical Reliefs – Florentine Grand Tour Revival – Early 20th Century

An elegant pair of vintage Italian alabaster wall plaques, dating from the early 20th century (circa 1900–1930), inspired by the Florentine Grand Tour tradition.


Each plaque features a finely carved alabaster neoclassical relief:

One depicts a serene Madonna with cherubs.
The other shows two tender children in embrace.

The creamy alabaster is mounted in richly gilded wooden frames with ornate floral and acanthus decoration in relief, evoking the grandeur of Baroque and Rococo interiors.



On the reverse, each plaque bears a cast metal medallion inset into the alabaster, inscribed “Perifugium Regibus” (Latin: “Refuge of Kings”), a motif often associated with academic and religious art of the 18th–19th century. This detail strongly suggests Florentine studio work, produced for the collector’s market as revivalist homage to Grand Tour intaglios.


 Dimensions (each):

Height: 30 cm
Width: 30 cm
Depth: 4 cm
Weight: approx. 1.8–2.2 kg each

Details:

Origin: Florence, Italy
Period: c.1900–1930
Material: Alabaster with gilded wooden frames
Decoration: Neoclassical reliefs with reverse medallions
Condition: Excellent overall; crisp reliefs, frames with only light wear and one small surface chip to the gilt (see photos). Original hanging hardware present.




A rare and substantial pair of decorative artworks, ideal for collectors of Florentine antiques, Grand Tour souvenirs, or romantic neoclassical interiors.
