A plaster column pedestal, circa 1880, after the Antique, attributed to Domenico Brucciani & Co London, stamped ‘2833’.
Domenico Brucciani & Co. (1882-1906) was a business set up by Joseph L. Caproni at 148 Grays Inn Road as a continuation of the modelling, plaster cast and teaching work carried out by Domenico Brucciani (1815-1880). Domenico was born in Lucca, Italy, and set up business in London, establishing a Gallery of Casts in Covent Garden by 1837. His business built up links with both the British Museum and the South Kensington Museum.
