A pair of Florentine 'Etruscan' scagliola table tops at Corsham Court, Wiltshire, are signed and dated Carlo Paoletto, 1808

Designed in imitation of excavated 'antique' vases and enclosed within a continuous border of sacrificial animals, this slab in typical of the 'Etruscan' style popularised by such publications as Sir William Hamilton's Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman Antiquities, published in Naples in 1766-7 and engraved by Francesco Morelli, it depicts a related winged snake chariot amongst a torch-bearing procession before an altar.
