C1800 18K Neoclassical Hardstone Cameo of Greek Hero Perseus
About the Item
We have a Georgian hard stone cameo ring, the oval-shaped cameo depicting the profile of the hero Perseus, who rescued Andromeda & slew Medusa. The ring is a copied from the sculpture by Antonio Canova; neoclassical sculptures were the subject of much jewelry crafted during the Georgian and Victorian periods. The type of stone, speckled agate, is associated with turn of the 19th century & the pre-Victorian years. As appropriate for its period our ring is rub-over set within an 18K yellow gold mount with ridged detail to the rim, all to a tapered yellow gold shank, circa 1800.
This ring reflects the early nineteenth century trend towards neoclassical motifs, which began around the time of the French Revolution. Cameos were particularly popular in this period: Napoleon had a set of cameo and yellow gold jewelry made for Empress Josephine in 1804.
The original sculpture at the MOMA, of Perseus with the head of Medusa from which our ring is copied, is shown in the photos.
