About the Item
A jasper medallion decorated with Aphrodite, set in cut steel as a buckle, probably by Matthew Boulton. Original box.
The Greek goddess Aphrodite is often depicted in ancient art with a dolphin. In mythology, dolphins were considered sacred to Aphrodite, and they were associated with love, beauty, and fertility. According to one legend, Aphrodite emerged from the sea on a shell-borne chariot drawn by dolphins, and the creatures were said to be her faithful servants. As a result, images of Aphrodite with dolphins became a popular motif in Greek art, appearing on vases, sculptures, and other decorative objects. The association between Aphrodite and dolphins has continued through the centuries, and the image of the goddess with a dolphin remains a popular symbol of love and beauty.
Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) was an English manufacturer and entrepreneur who was best known for his contributions to the Industrial Revolution. He was the co-founder of the Soho Manufactory, a company that produced a wide range of products including metal goods, buttons, buckles, and jewelry. Boulton was a pioneer in the use of steam power in manufacturing and was a major advocate for the development of the factories and the use of machines in production.
Boulton and Wedgwood were close friends and business partners, and they collaborated on several projects during the late 18th century. They worked together to develop new manufacturing processes and to promote their products both in England and abroad. Boulton was instrumental in helping Wedgwood expand his business, and their partnership was considered one of the most successful collaborations of the Industrial Revolution. Their friendship and business relationship had a lasting impact on the development of the British pottery and manufacturing industries.
