About the Item

Period: Late 19th century Provenance: Italy Ring size: 7 Weight: 10.2 gr Questo anello del XIX secolo in oro presenta una montatura elegante e fastosa, con decorazioni laterali che ricordano conchiglie e sfere d’oro, mentre al centro una cornice spigata inquadra il profilo ritratto nel cammeo, ossia Benvenuto Cellini. Egli fu una figura poliedrica del Rinascimento manieristico fiorentino, giacché fu orafo, scultore e teorico, rinomato a livello internazionale. Una delle opere di arte applicata che più lo resero celebre fu indubbiamente la saliera realizzata per il re di Francia Francesco I. Il fatto che Benvenuto Cellini venga ritratto in un cammeo del XIX secolo, dunque, è indice della sua fama e della sua bravura che ha attraversato i secoli. This XIX gold ring has an elegant and magnificent mount, with lateral decorations which seem to be shells and gold spheres, while Benvenuto Cellini's profile can be seen depicted in the cameo with a spigato frame in the centre. He was a versatile figure of the Florentine Mannerist Renaissance, since he was an internationally renowned goldsmith, sculptor and theorist. One of the works of applied art that made him famous was undoubtedly the salt cellar built for the king of France Francis I. The fact that Benvenuto Cellini is portrayed in a cameo of the nineteenth century, therefore, is an indication of his fame and skill that has crossed the centuries.
