Description
Italian Neoclassical Roman Goddess Aurora in Her Horse-Drawn Chariot — Important Georgian Shell Cameo Brooch, Circa 1820 An Exquisite Antique Jewel of Neoclassical Elegance Details Medium: Hand-carved shell cameo Mount: Original pinchbeck scrollwork frame Dimensions: 7.8 cm (length) × 5.2 cm (width) × 1.5 cm (depth) Weight: 20.6 grams Date: Circa 1820 (Late Georgian) Origin: Italian carving, likely Torre del Greco Description This magnificent Georgian-era shell cameo brooch portrays Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn, driving her two-horse chariot across the heavens. Carved with exceptional skill, Aurora’s flowing drapery and the spirited movement of her horses capture an extraordinary sense of life and motion. The delicate contrast between the creamy white relief and the honey-toned shell evokes the first golden light of dawn breaking through the sky. The cameo is mounted in its original pinchbeck frame, richly decorated with scrollwork and a beaded border, and retains its original C-clasp and extended pin—hallmarks of early 19th-century craftsmanship. A masterpiece of artistry and myth, this brooch embodies light, renewal, and timeless beauty. Mythology & Symbolism In Roman mythology, Aurora (known as Eos in Greek) rises each morning from the sea, heralding the dawn and dispelling the darkness of night. She represents hope, rebirth, and new beginnings—an enduring emblem of optimism and renewal. During the early 19th century, Aurora became a favored motif in neoclassical art and jewelry, admired for both her poetic grace and allegorical meaning. This piece thus serves not only as a jewel of rare beauty but also as a deeply symbolic treasure—an ideal gift representing light, joy, and renewal. Frame & Craftsmanship Material: Original 19th-century pinchbeck (gold-toned copper–zinc alloy) Design: Ornate scrollwork with beaded border, finely hand-finished Construction: C-clasp and extended pin typical of circa 1820 Patina: Warm, even tone with gentle antique glow Professionally curated and authenticated by Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD, confirming its period accuracy, craftsmanship, and provenance. Provenance From a private Northern Shire collection, curated by Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD, a distinguished U.K. fine arts gallery. This documented provenance enhances the piece’s historical significance, desirability, and long-term value for discerning collectors worldwide. Collectability & Investment High-quality mythological cameos of this scale and refinement are increasingly rare. Comparable examples in gold or pinchbeck mounts have achieved $3,000–$5,000 in galleries and auctions. Its exquisite artistry, original mount, and verified provenance make it both a sound collector’s investment and a timeless heirloom.
