It was not only bronze and marble replicas of famous statues that were imported, primarily from Athens, but also numerous objects embellished with reliefs, since these were ideal for decorating villas and temples. The ornate Dresden candelabrum base is one of the heaviest (weight: 1.0 t) and largest of its kind.
