As the Rococo style was in decline, archaeological discoveries, particularly uncovered sites at Pompeii and Herculaneum, stimulated the minds of craftsmen and designers across Europe. Also, widespread travel occurred with Westerners visiting Italy, Greece, and the Middle East. At the same time, a veritable slew of publications in Europe covering these archaeological digs and publishing about these finds. Overall, there was a massively increased interest in the Classical Era at this time.
The “Grand Tour” of Europe, which intellectuals and aristocrats saw as part of the education of the modern European gentleman, comprised an extended visit to Rome, among other places, and many went on to Greece. This led them through a haven of Classical design styles and motifs. Everyone wanted to experience the beauty of the Hellenic Period back at home.
The neoclassic style developed in France then quickly spread throughout Europe and to the United States. Enjoy our vases for they are a beautiful way to celebrate an important period in humankind. less
