Castellani 15kt Gold Amphora Necklace

About the Item

The Amphora is one of the most widely used motifs in Ancient Archeological Jewellery through the Victorian period. The Amphora was a container-vessel-vase-jug-pot that was used to store and or transport oil, water, perfume and grain. The flat bottom on certain amphoras was a way of storing and transporting it upright. Created the same way as in Ancient civilizations, this 15kt gold necklace has 35 flat bottom Amphoras. The back of each Amphora is flat enabling it to fit around the neck laying flat. The braided gold chain that each Amphora is attached is very flexible and comfortable to wear. The tongue and clasp makes it easy to put and to take off. The total length is 16” and the Amphora’s length are .50” ( 40.64 cm Length 15mm Length of each Amphora. The weight of this necklace is 42 grams. The Castellani Double C Logo plate is affixed to the necklace. Castellani’s Jewellery from the 19th Century is in museums: British Museum; Victoria & Albert Museum; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt Museum to name a few); exhibitions as well as in private collections. Fortunato Pio Castellani can be called the "Father of Archeological Revival Jewellery". In the mid 1800's in Rome, Castellani had the entree to visit the Ancient Etruscan ruins. He was able to study these Ancient designs as well as other Ancient Mediterranean civilizations’ jewellery and started to create and re-design under his brand.

  • Victorian 15kt. gold seal fob with carnelian intaglio and family motto
    Located in Braintree, GB
    This antique 19th-century seal fob/pendant, crafted from 15kt. yellow gold features a Carnelian intaglio depicting what is possibly the crest of the Carmichael family or clan, along with the French phrase 'Toujours Prest,' which translates to 'Always Ready' in English. Created in England during the 1870s, this piece showcases exceptional artistry and meticulous attention to detail. Its authenticity is confirmed through X-ray analysis, adding an extra layer of assurance to its value. Dimensions: Length x Width x Height: 2.4 x 2.1 x 3.8 cm Weight: 22.9 grams Condition: This pre-owned item shows age-related wear but is in good overall condition, as depicted in the accompanying pictures. The motto 'Toujours Prêt' is recognized in standard British heraldic sources as belonging to several families. Originally a war cry or slogan, mottoes began appearing with coats of arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, although they weren't commonly used until the 17th century. It's important to note that mottoes are often an optional component of a coat of arms and can be added or changed at will. The Carmichael surname traces back to a barony in Lanarkshire, granted to the Douglas Family by Robert the Bruce in 1321. Prior to this, Robert de Carmitely held lordship in Cleghorn around 1221, and William de Creimechel witnessed a charter in 1225. Sir John de Carmychell held a charter for the lands of Carmychell between 1374 and 1384 from William, Earl of Douglas. The Barony of Carmichael was formally confirmed to the head of the family in 1414. Sir John de Carmichael of Meadowflat notably fought alongside Scottish mercenaries in France against English invaders led...
