Just off the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Great Hall is an airy, expansive display of Greek and Roman art, sculpture, pottery and jewelry totaling more than 30,000 pieces. Since the height of these ancient Mediterranean civilizations, design and architecture styles have come and gone yet the flawless proportions, stately structures and sleek perfectionism of the time continue to influence artisans today. Here, we take a look at products with an aesthetic befitting of the exhibit.
