His earliest dated medal is 1711 and more than 109 portrait medals and a series of 111 medals commemorating the Medici dynasty are attributed to him. Selvi's style is indebted to Soldani and he is recorded as having worked in bronze and as a modeller in lead for works in porcelain and in wax for cameos. Field Marshal Richard Molesworth, 3rd Viscount Molesworth (1680-1758) was an Anglo-Irish military officer, politician and nobleman. He served with his regiment at the Battle of Blenheim before being appointed aide-de-camp to the Duke of Marlborough during the War of the Spanish Succession. During the Battle of Ramillies in 1706 Molesworth offered Marlborough his own horse after Marlborough fell from the saddle. Molesworth then recovered his commander's charger and slipped away, saving Marlborough's life. Molesworth went on to become Lieutenant of the Ordnance in Ireland, was wounded at the Battle of Preston during the Jacobite rising of 1715, and later became Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Irish Army.Richard Molesworth's older brother (John Molesworth, 2nd Viscount, 1679 - 1725) commissioned medals of himself and his brother Richard from Antonio Selvi while John was Ambassador Extraordinary to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

Mary moved to London in 1836 and married a sick husband who died soon after they were wed. At the outbreak of the Crimean War she applied to the War Office to be allowed to nurse sick and wounded servicemen, but was not accepted by either the Government or Florence Nightingale. Undaunted, she joined with a Mr Day, and they went to the Crimea to open a restaurant which she called the "British Hotel". Mary helped the sick and wounded at Scutari and went to Sebastopol and opened a "mess table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers", she tended to the wounded from Balaklava. She was present at the assault on the Redan on 18 June 1855, tending to the wounded, even seeking such men on the battlefield.

The row of pearls which she is wearing in this bust was left in her will to one of the daughters of Lord Gleichen. The bust was exhibited at The Black Cultural Archives in 1993.
