A LARGE 19TH CENTURY MAHOGANY AND GLAZED DOUBLE SIDED DISPLAY CASE ENCLOSING A COLLECTION OF GRAND TOUR PLASTER MEDALLIONS

By Pietro Paoletti (Rome, 1801-1847)
The large assortment of plaster casts of engraved cameos, sculptures and monuments with an opposing hand written catalogue of contents, with captions including: Museo Capitolino, Museo Vaticano, Opere di Gibson, Opere di Thorwaldsen amongst others, 162cm wide x 10.5cm deep x 37cm high, (63 1/2in wide x 4in deep x 14 1/2in high)

Footnotes

Originally these would have been mounted in faux-book boxes with marbled covers and gilt-tooled leather bindings, such as can be seen in the ten volumes of Paoletti's cameos sold at Bonhams, New York, Fine Furniture, Silver, Decorative Arts & Clocks Sale, 4 March 2015, lot 1283 which sold for $50,000.

The Paolettis studio was located on the Piazza di Spagna in Rome until 1847 and enjoyed an excellent reputation throughout the 'Grand Tour'. They counted among their clients Catherine the Great of Russia, Ferdinand III and Grand Duke of Tuscany. The firm continued to do business after the death of Pietro until at least 1865.

Examples of the Paolettis' casts are conserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut.
