"Collection Presented Framed With Italian Terracotta Cameos In The Style Of Antiques From The 1930s"
A beautiful collection presented in a gilt-leaf molded frame with a wide cornice, featuring generous cameos depicting Ancient Rome, mounted without glass on green marbled paper. Assembled in the 1930s, this collection is a curiosity due to the subject matter and size of the pieces, which come from the Grand Tour of Italy and are made of terracotta in various shades. Finely rendered and harmoniously arranged, these charming representations transport us to the earliest times of Roman mythology. Originally commissioned by a decorator at the beginning of the 20th century to create a chic and elegant Neoclassical style, this set is in good condition, suitable for a display in the style of a Cabinet of Curiosities.
