Benedetto Boschetti (workshop of) (Rome 1820 - news up to about 1880) Yellow marble lamp, Rome, second half of the 19th century Benedetto Boschetti was a sculptor and stonecutter active in Rome between 1820 and 1880 and was able to conquer the hearts of many European aristocrats during the Grand Tour, distinguishing himself for his versatility by creating not only marble sculptures but also bronzes, candelabras and mosaic objects. His workshop in Via Condotti was a true point of reference for those looking for unique and precious works of art; there you could find a wide selection of objects sculpted in precious excavated marbles, much sought after and expensive even at the time. Among the favorite marbles are the ancient yellow of Numidia, the ancient red and the pavonazzetto, in particular in the dark green shades and these rare materials gave his works an extraordinary beauty. cm 21x20x11
