Description
Pair of Antique Lead Roundels on Bespoke Stands
- Contintental (French or Italian)19th Century
- Possibly based on the classical antiquity depicting Literature and Agriculture
- The faces are very appealing
A very charming pair of antique lead roundels based on the classical antiquity. Are they English or European, French or Italian? The quality is good enough to be someone like Bromsgrove Guild, but attribution is proving difficult and ongoing.
One depicts a young scholarly Boy, dressed in a loose robe, seated and holding, a scribe in one hand and in the other, a scroll. His feet are bare and he glances upwards lost in thought or contemplation.
The other shows a young girl, also draped in a loose robe, with the wind blowing her robe and a ponytail that holds in place her wavy hair, out from behind her. She is kneeling, perhaps in servitude or reverence in bare feet. She holds out both her arms, and gazes down towards her hands. In one hand she holds a small bowl, the other seems to be taking something from the bowl to perhaps offer it's contents or to throw them to the wind.
Both figures are held within an integral thick lead frame, the circumference of which is decorated with a petal and bead design. The figures and frames are decorated in the round and extend slightly beyond the frames housing, giving a wonderful three dimensional appearance.
The figures and the frames have been painted. The figures a grey colour, to depict lead or stone, and the frames more of a buff terracotta colour, to depict perhaps stone or terracotta. This is likely also to have been done to help protect these pieces from the elements, as these were clearly architectural features of some kind, possibly windows or even part of a series of figures along a wall or balcony and could have been created for a Church or very wealthy home. They retain their original lugs where they were attached to masonry or stone work.
These are heavy items as you can imagine, and the stands were made specifically for these pieces, and as well as being presented as pieces of sculpture in their own right, they could of course be integrated as unique features in a house or building design, and would make an incredible feature as part of a bespoke pair of impressive entry gates.
Price is for Set.

Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
