Superb Quality Antique Micro-Mosaic Grand Tour Souvenir of a Visit to Rome
About the Item
Superb quality antique micro-mosaic Grand Tour Souvenir of a visit to Rome. set with seven panels, vignettes of Roman views in a shaped slate tablet. and in original frame. Part of a Gentleman's education was a visit to Rome, it still is.
Such micro-mosaics are found in a variety of quality, usually pretty good, but these are outstanding. The original molded frame has a reddish brown tone and traces of textured old varnish. We like it that way. It adds certain credibility and helps to date the views. The central panel is of course St Peter's .
