1880s Antique Pietra Dura Silver and Gold Brooch
About
Circa 1880s, 14k and silver, Italy. A charming and wearable example of nineteenth-century archeological revival jewelry, this Etruscan motif brooch features a delicately exuberant pietra dura scene of flowers. From the excellent gold-work to the particularly fine intarsio inlay, the look is vintage chic at its antique best. Pietra Dura is stone inlaid in stone to form a picture; it is a type of mosaic.
Remarks from Lawrence Jeffrey: “Drawing inspiration from the friezes in the Pompeian house of Vetii, the black backgrounds of these popular grand tour souvenir jewels have an elegant look that dates back 2000 years.”
