The Classical Vases

£685.00

A beautiful series directly based on antique engravings from the 1800s, depicting vases of Greek and Etruscan origin. A variety of narrative figural scenes, geometric borders and decorative handles are displayed throughout the illustrations. Classical vases have remained an enduring theme for print collectors since the 1700s with their striking silhouettes and nod to classical history. 

Each vase is surrounded by a blue geometric patterned border (directly based on an antique motif). Hand framed in an earthy linen mount with a gold leaf frame showing with a guilloché patterned profile. 

To order a pair for £255, please add the code VASEPAIR at the checkout. This collection is otherwise available as a full set of 6, a curated set of 4 and singles. 

All our reprint collections are limited in number and originate directly from antiques personally sourced by Petri Prints.
