Stock No.10307
A Regency statuary marble tablet representing the marriage of Cupid and Psyche. The couple is veiled and Cupid holds a dove whilst they are accompanied by three putti, holding a torch, a basket of fruit and a stool for their wedding ceremony. This is based on the onyx cameo made by Tryphon during the Roman Late Republican or Early Imperial Period (50–25 B.C.). This cameo once belonged to Peter Paul Rubens and was inventoried in both the collection of the Duke of Arundel and the Duke of Malborough in the 18th century.
