About the Item
Museum quality large antique Etruscan Revival Grand Tour carnelian intaglio 15K yellow gold locket bracelet
Circa 1860
The impressive scale of this stunning bracelet indicates that it was created for a very wealthy individual, likely to commemorate a Grand Tour voyage. The exquisitely engraved carnelian intaglio depicts a complex scene with classical Roman architectural buildings, possibly the Piazza del Popolo in Rome, surrounded by angels with Christ amidst clouds watching over the Eternal City and being crowned by angels. The impressive size of the intaglio and superb execution point to this piece being created in Rome by a jeweler possibly associated with the Vatican Workshops. Rome was the pinnacle of attraction of the Grand Tour- the seat of papal splendour, capital of the ancient world and a treasure trove of art. Numerous fine jewelers worked tirelessly to create beautiful mementos to commemorate the Grand Tour travels of the wealthy. The Castellani family, Carlo Giuliano, Cesare Roccheggiani are among the prominent makers who supplied Grand Tour jewels. The demand for these was so strong that British Crown jewelers such as Hunt
Roskell comissioned Archaelogical Revival pieces for their English clients. Sotheby's London recently sold a hardstone intaglio demi-parure centered by a large oval carnelian intaglio akin to the one in this bracelet, retailed by Hunt
Roskell, Lot 11, September 11, 2020.
This stunning bracelet features a secret locket compartment, accessed by opening the oval intaglio mounted gem.
Condition: Very Good, exceptional for its age- crisp goldwork details, light surface wear, both the clasp lock and the locket compartment are in excellent working order seldom seen in pieces of this age.

Rare Etruscan Revival 18K Gold Locket Necklace attr. Eugene Fontenay, Paris 1870
By Eugene Fontenay
Located in New York, NY
Large, stunning granulated antique French Etruscan Revival locket with the original, equally spectacular large chain. The oval locket exquisitely decorated with a technique known as granulation, where a tiny gold bead is individually applied to a surface to form a geometric pattern. Done entirely by hand and requiring a master goldsmith, this technique is thought to have originated in Sumer approximately 5000 years ago. The Etruscans mastered the process in the first millennium B.C and closely guarded its secret, becoming celebrated for creating some of the most beautiful and technically advanced gold jewelry ever made.
Condition: This piece is in very good condition retaining the original interior crystal, the hinges work very well and are precisely calibrated to stay open in place when desired. The back of the locket shows normal wear with just the slightest waviness. The chain is in excellent condition.
Composed as a pendant locket on its original chain, the oval gold links reeded on the interior and applied chain link on the exterior, the oval locket decorated with twisted wirework circles and fine applied granulation patterns, suspended from a long bale with quatrefoil granulation. Hinged on the side, opening to reveal a hinged glass panel for a personal memento.
French assay mark and maker's mark partially obscured
Confident attribution to Fontenay based on partial hallmark and similar published examples.
References: Wartski for gold enamelled locket on chain necklace, sold archives; DSF for gold enamelled locket pendant of similar workmanship and design. Fontenay pieces retaining the original chain which may be worn on its own are rare and desirable.
