Beschreibung
An elegant gold necklace with two neoclassical agate cameos.
Bezel 30 x 45 mm - 23 x 29 mm; diam. Total lenght 45 cm; gr. 42,40
The frontal cameo depicts a bust of Apollo facing to the right; The deity has a laureated head and carries a quiver with arrows on his back; the bust is partially covered by a cloak held on the shoulder by a circular buckle. The face is finely engraved and is characterized by youthful characteristics, a languid look and a half-open mouth. The hair is engraved in detail, with curls falling downwards; the profile fully embodies the neoclassical aesthetic ideals inspired by Greek art. The cameo is in two-layer agate, surrounded by a double-tracked gold frame containing pearls and surmounted by a finely chiseled bow. Four rings per side are welded to the bezel, to which four rows of link chains are attached. The second cameo, in the back, is executed on a three-layer variegated agate and depicts a gryllos. The hybrid creature consists of a billy goat head combined with two bearded heads and a youthful head (faun). Apotropaic depiction inspired by ancient roman models. This second cameo is surrounded by the same double-track frame with pearls (but without the bow) and carries the necklace closure on the back. Jewel of refined execution. Excellent state of preservation. The lot includes an elegant blue box with gray interior. English private collection.
First half of the 19th century.
