Signed 'B. Boschetti Roma' for the nineteenth century Italian sculptor Benedetto Boschetti.

This incredible and technically complex Marmo Rosso model of the Warwick Vase, is over 60 cm high but unusually carved from just a single block of marble on a scale rarely found and created with unrivalled intricacy.

The only other known marble reduction of the Warwick Vase by this artist, now resides in the collection of the Toledo Museum, Ohio - for many years it was believed the Toledo vase was the only example carved on this scale by Boschetti.
