Lot Essay

This temple was created as a dessert table centerpiece, in turn flanked by two others, perhaps of slightly different design, and slightly smaller. See the two sold Christie's, New York, May 21, 1997, lots 125 and 126. A similar example is in the Museo Napoleonico, Rome with variant finial.
