ALittle History: Venetian cameos have been produced since the 2nd century B.C. In 1985, Nino Tagliamonte and his wife Lorena and two Murano glass “Maestros” rediscovered the ancient production technique that had been lost in time. Today’s cameos and intaglios are completely made by hand. In the process of making precious Murano glass or gold cameos, antique molds are used to maintain the tradition and high quality of the Roman gem engravers. The molds provide an initial print of a design and then expert craftsmen detail the design by hand. Today, Nino and his team manufacture collections from his cache of 3,000 different molds dating back to the 1st century B.C. All cameos are either set in 14K, 18K, 925 Sterling Silver or 14K and 18K gold plate.

These jewels depict artistic travel from the Hellenistic period to Neoclassicism. Some of the themes that are illustrated are as follows:

One of the most popular antique themes of Roman gems depicts the “Aurora Chariot”. The goddess, Aurora, is driving the sun chariot. In Greco-Roman mythology, she is the personification of dawn. In works of art, she is represented as a young woman walking fast with a youth in her arms or rising from the sea in a chariot drawn by winged horses. As she is the goddess who dispensed the dews of the morning, sometimes she has pitcher in hand.

Another common theme is cameos that are intended as a tribute to Maternity. A scene depicting a group of women with their children. Mothers are represented as angels and children are represented as cherubs.

Another intaglio depicts the Latin Neptunnus, who in Roman religion was originally the god of freshwater. By 399 B.C. he was identified with the Greek Poseidon and thus became the deity of the sea. His attributes are the trident and the dolphin.

The Maypole intaglio from the first century B.C. represents a summer festival with a group of Romans playing flutes and lyres. A woman with a fire is making an offering to the goddess, Pan, who was the protector of the countryside and crops.

Other cameos feature scenes like the goddess of music, Calliope, with her lyre. Or, Hercules and his labors. You’ll find the mythological Sphinx or Jupiter and Mars offering a cup of ambrosia. Also shown are warriors driving chariots and Pegasus, the winged horse. Of course, let us not forget the great love of Psyche and Eros. These are but a few of the stories revealed in these beautiful works of art.

I hope you enjoy your purchase. It is truly a conversation piece…

Arrivederci!!!
