专家说明


Pedestals, or 'terms' such as these, which are festooned with acanthus, were designed to support busts, bronzes or classical vases. They became fashionable in the early 1730s with the introduction of the Palladian or Roman style promoted by Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington and his protégé William Kent (d. 1748), and were used as supports for the souvenirs brought back by wealthy patrons and aristocrats from the Grand Tour.
