• A proposito di opere d'arte

  This Victorian stickpin from around 1870 presents a finely modelled blackamoor bust crowned and adorned with shimmering rose cut diamonds. The darkened metal and warm gold provide a striking contrast, giving the figure a gentle gravitas that feelsrooted in the Grand Victorian taste for exotic motifs. Its sculptural quality suggests the hand of an artisan attentive to expression and movement, making it a small yet evocative relic of its period.

  Style
  Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative arts during the Victorian era. The Victorian era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historic styles and the introduction of cross-cultural influences from themiddle east and Asia in furniture, fittings, and Interior decoration. Victorian design is widely viewed as having indulged in a regrettable excess of ornament. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveaustyle have their beginnings in the late Victorian era.

  Style specifics
  The Grand Victorian Period - Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also called The Victorian era (1837 - 1901) into three periods of about twenty years each; The Romantic Victorian Period (1837 - 1860), The Grand Victorian Period (1860 - 1880),and the Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period (1880 - 1901).
  
  We consider this to be of the Grand Victorian Period.
  
  This second Victorian period is famous for its ostentatious pieces set with pearls and diamonds (from South Africa). From ca. 1850 wealthy English had reported about jewelry from India and Japan, which heavily inspired the jewelers of this period. Thisperiod also corresponds with the death of Queen Victoria's husband King Albert making mourning jewelry (set with heavy dark stones) the type of jewelry specific for this period.
