This carved marble head made €32,000 at hammer.
A carved marble head of a philosopher made €32,000 at hammer over an estimate of €1,000-€1,500 at the Library Collection sale at James Adam in Dublin today. It was described in the catalogue as possibly Roman period. The proportion is life size. It has been in a private collection in Ireland since the 1940’s. A carve marble stele on a shallow stepped based and with Latin text from the same collection made €20,000 at hammer. A 19th century Carrara marble carved bust of Julius Caesar on a pink marbled column made €9,500.
