19th Century Grand Tour Bronze – Florentine Boar After Antonio Susini

This striking 19th-century Grand Tour bronze is a detailed representation of the Florentine Boar, based on the famous sculpture by Antonio Susini, a pupil of Giambologna. Also known as Il Porcellino, the boar has long symbolised good luck and prosperity, especially in Florence.

Beautifully cast in bronze with a rich, time-worn patina, this piece captures the muscular form and expressive face of the original with incredible detail. Likely acquired as a souvenir during a 19th-century Grand Tour, it reflects both the artistic taste and cultural curiosity of the period.

A wonderfully decorative and historically significant piece, perfect for collectors of classical bronzes, Grand Tour antiques, or anyone who appreciates Italian Renaissance sculpture.
