Cameo with gold setting (9 kts); brooch. Victorian era, around 1860. Cameo with openwork die-cut gold mount (9 kts) decorated with a symmetrical composition based on opposing “ces”, simplified volutes and aventurated shapes in the equator of the piece (on both sides). The cameo itself, made in Cassius Cypraea (and therefore of the type known in the 19th century as a “coral”), presents a scene from classical mythology: on the left appears the Aurora, accompanied by a winged child with a torch (Phosphor , the morning star) and preceding the chariot of the Sun with four horses, which appears surrounded by the Hours and is driven by Apollo. Note the compositional and iconographic similarity between the scene and the fresco painted by Guido Reni between 1613 and 1614 in the Casino dell'Aurora Pallavicini (Rome, Italy), entitled “L'Aurora”, which, in addition, was often used as inspiration for works in different media throughout the 19th century. Weight: 20.29 gr.

Cameo. Victorian mount, around 1850. Cameo with a beveled rose gold mount made of shell (Cassius Cypraea; therefore the type known in the 19th century as “coral”), with a figure sitting in the clouds holding a jug and a bowl from which an eagle eats. The theme, inspired by the classical mythology of Antiquity, is the personification of youth, called Junventas or Juventus (her figure ended up being assimilated with that of the Greek goddess Hebe, who also personified youth and helped the gods by filling their cups. with nectar, harnessed Hera's horses, etc.), accompanied by the eagle of Jupiter (Greek Zeus). This is a very common theme in 19th century jewelry, especially in cameos, as it is considered the quintessential emblem of the diligent, caring and responsible daughter. Weight: 7.83 grams

This has two bands that begin in parallel and then separate and form two facing volutes joined in this area by a rectangular piece, also showing several engraved lines that highlight these elements. The use of scrolls in forging was common since the Romanesque period, and we can speak of an evolution in this element with the passage of time. This example belongs due to its shape to a type of handle or knocker known as “scissor”.
