This unique 20th-century French collection features an exquisite arrangement of plaster intaglios and cameos, carefully mounted on a decorative marbled background and set within an elegant gilt and ebonized frame. The collection showcases a variety of neoclassical and mythological subjects, including portraits, allegorical scenes, and classical figures, meticulously cast in fine detail.
Each cameo captures the artistry of traditional Grand Tour souvenirs, reminiscent of the 19th and early 20th centuries, when travelers collected such pieces as keepsakes from their European journeys. The reverse of the frame is backed with antique French book pages, adding an extra layer of historical charm.
This framed display is perfect for collectors of neoclassical art, intaglios, and European decorative objects, bringing a timeless and scholarly aesthetic to any interior.
