Tutte le aste / Gioielli & Gemme / Antique Pietra Dura & Gold Locket Brooch, Florence, c. 1875
The Romans named Florence after the Roman goddess of flowers, “Florentia.” How fitting, then, is a detailed mosaic depiction of flowers as a souvenir from the city on the Arno? Pietra Dura pieces of jewellery have been crafted in the Medici workshops since the Renaissance. Especially in the 19th century, many travelers brought these small mementos from Florence back to their home countries. Against a deep black background, a loosely tied bouquet of forget-me-nots, lilies, and lily of the valley is depicted. The inlay work consists of various semi-precious stones such as turquoise, agate, and jade, with their varying shades used to create a three-dimensional effect. An elaborate setting made of high-karat gold with an additional layer of fine gold plating allows the inlay work to be worn as a brooch. Delicate gold wire accents in the so-called “archaeological style” lend the piece a magnificent appearance. On the reverse side, a glass-covered frame allows for the storage of a photograph or a lock of hair. Originally, a loop could be hung on a hook on the back, allowing the oval piece to be worn as a pendant as well. However, this feature has not survived. We discovered the mosaic in southern England and brought it back to Berlin. The pietra dura piece was likely purchased during a trip to Florence. It was created in the 1870s.
