HISTORIC PROVENANCE

This Bust of a Youth recalls an idealized Roman head (117–161 CE) in The Met collection, sculpted during the Hadrianic or Early Antonine periods.The polished flesh, sharply defined eyes, and intricate locks of hair characterizing the original were all typical features of bronze sculpture that were imitated in marble as part of the classicizing taste that prevailed during the reign of the emperor Hadrian in the early 2nd century CE.

Care instructions

How to care for wood veneer

Veneer furniture is covered in a thin layer of real hardwood. Veneers are often used in high end furniture pieces and can be more costly than solid wood. Mid 20th century it became especially popular in interiors when teak wood was often used for Danish design furniture.

To fully enjoy your wood veneer furniture, please follow a few basic rules:

Cleaning and maintenance

Wood veneer requires gentle care to preserve the finish. Dust regularly and clean with a soft dry cloth.

Remove spills immediately as moisture can cause the veneer to peel off the surface. Prevent moisture from getting underneath the veneer by quickly and thoroughly cleaning up any spills. In case of water rings, rub the area with naphtha. Follow up with an application of oil or petroleum jelly to completely erase the mark.
