The Castellani goldsmith family, which began in the 19th century with the Italian brothers Alessandro and Augusto Castellani, is known for unique designs inspired by antiquity and the Renaissance, executed with the highest level of craftsmanship and quality. For three generations, the Castellani family created what is known as "Italian archaeological jewelry", influenced by the precious Etruscan, Roman, Greek and Byzantine antiquities that were excavated at that time.
The preserved pieces of jewelry from Castellani still impress today with their craftsmanship and beauty.
The rare brooch presented here was created around 1870 and is a sought-after collector's item.
