Paoletti Impronte, ‘Mussei Diversi’, Rome c1800
-
Description
$385.00 each, framed
Original nineteenth century plaster cameo seals. Two examples.
These ‘Grand Tour’ souvenirs were brought home by wealthy European travellers. Rome was the ultimate destination and a tour of the treasures contained in its many museums complemented a young man’s education. Collecting boxes and faux bindings containing plaster casts of ancient gems was a fashionable pastime and a valuable ‘aide memoir’ of the mythologies, gods and historical events depicted on the delicate cameos.
Presented in hand-gilded shadow box frames, lined with fine hand-made english marbled paper.
Framed size: 263 x 170 mm (10 1/4 x 6 3/4 inches) -
