About the Item

"2 Crosses with Micromosaic – Rome, 19th Century" Dimensions: 5 x 3 cm and 4 x 3 cm A delicate pair of Roman micromosaic crosses, dating from the 19th century. Each cross is decorated with tiny glass tesserae intricately assembled to form floral motifs typical of the Italian workshops of the time. Micromosaic is a craft technique originating in Rome, particularly popular among travelers on the Grand Tour in the 19th century, and these pieces were purchased as high-quality artistic souvenirs. Both crosses are in good condition, with well-defined details and vibrant colors. Their small size makes them ideal for both display and jewelry collection. Authentic pieces of 19th-century Italian craftsmanship, representative of the neoclassical taste and devotional art of the period.
