Sourced directly from Paris, these plaster fragments are a homage to the grand tradition of European cast-making. For centuries the workshops of Paris - including those associated with the Louve - have produced plaster “maquettes” and casts of classical Greek and Roman antiquities to serve as study aids for artists and scholars.
These specific pierces capture the aesthetic of the Grand Tour, designed to replicate the weathered, excavated look of of an ancient museum artifact. Featuring the detailed straps of a classical sandal, they evoke the timeless beauty of archaeology and the sophisticated, intellectual atmosphere of a Parisian artist’s studio.
