Framed Red Sulfur Intaglios: Cupid and Venus & Omphale

Genuine antiques from the 1700s, these sulfur intaglios offer the rare opportunity to glimpse at a piece of history in your own home every day. While modern reproductions of intaglios are selling for hundreds of dollars from small designer boutiques to larger chain home decor stores, here is your chance to have a piece of the intaglio craze in your own home for less than $100.00! Intaglios were used to create the souvenirs taken home by those making the Grand Tour of the continent, and in a day and age where we cannot travel much, it seems so interesting  and special to think of the adventures these intaglios represent. The top piece in this stacked frame shows Venus and Cupid, while the bottom shows Omphale, the mistress of Hercules.  These have been mounted on an emerald green marbled paper and sit behind glass, for protection. The fun yellow, green, and red colors are also sure to make you and your guests stop and admire too!
