It is possible that he may have been an apprentice in the workshop of Castellani, an idea supported by the clear similarities in styles and subject matter. In 1846 he opened his own shop in Florence, later moving to a Renaissance palazzo at 20 Piazza di Spagna, next to the Spanish Steps in Rome. Today the building is a national monument and regarded as one of the most important historic buildings in Rome. Renamed Palazzo Pierret, his name can still be seen above the entrance. His pieces are marked either with a monogram or signature, both of which are applied to the piece on a small gold plaque or tab.Please note, this lot has VAT at the prevailing rate on both the Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium.

CARTIER: EMERALD, RUBY, SAPPHIRE, PEARL AND DIAMOND-SET NECKLACE, CIRCA 1925 AND LATERThe row of alternating emerald, sapphire and ruby beads, with pearl spacers, the clasp set with a carved emerald leaf, sapphire, ruby and emerald beads and vari-cut diamonds, signed Cartier London, numbered 2184, length 39.0cmFootnotes:Provenance:Emerald Joyce Henrietta Brittain-Jones née Wallach (1902-1974);Thence by descentLots 1 - 11 belonged to Emerald Joyce Henrietta Brittain Jones née Wallach. Joyce was born in Allahabad, Utter Pradesh, India. Her father, William Wallach, was a Barrister in India. On 19th January 1924, she married Captain Jack Brittain Jones (1899-1975) of the Black Watch (1st Battalion), at a Society wedding at Middle Temple Church in London. In 1927, the couple had a daughter, Pauleen Victoria. By 1931, Jack and his family were living in India where Jack was Aide-de-Camp to Lord Willingdon, Viceroy of India.In 1931, George II of Greece (1890-1947) visited India where he met Jack and Joyce. From 1934, the correspondence from Joyce to George is loving and affectionate, clearly indicating that a deep and meaningful personal relationship had developed between them. In 1935, George II was divorced by his estranged wife, Princess Elisabeth of Romania (1894-1956), who cited desertion. Joyce and Jack also divorced in 1935, citing Jack's adultery. George II had become King of Greece in 1922, but in 1924 Greece declared itself a Republic, and the monarchy was abolished. Eventually the Greek monarchy was restored in 1935 so George returned as King. Joyce and the King then began to lead a very private life together in Greece, often at the Tatoi Palace, the Royal family's summer residence, situated thirty miles from Athens, where George was able to indulge his love of farming. Joyce reportedly knitted, read and sat quietly. She was well-liked by George's sister-in-law, Katherine, and regarded as one of the family. It is reported that Joyce refused to marry George II because she believed that a morganatic marriage, like that of Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson (also divorced), would be damaging to George's position as monarch. In 1941, Germany occupied Greece and George fled to Crete, facing many dangers including his potential capture. A British destroyer transported him into exile in Cairo, Egypt. Later in 1943, Joyce accompanied George to the United States of America as his quiet and inconspicuous companion. Joyce also accompanied George on a visit to South Africa. They had then moved to London, where Joyce engaged in war work as a Fire Warden. Joyce was a particular friend of Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent who was a Greek Princess by birth and a British Princess by marriage to Prince George, Duke of Kent. In 1946, a referendum restored the monarchy, and George II again returned to Greece as King. He desperately wanted Joyce to accompany him to Greece and put pressure on the British Government to permit her to join him. However, the Government was concerned to avoid political difficulties in Greece, and refused permission. Princess Katherine suggested that Joyce could live in Greece as her lady in waiting. Sadly, whilst waiting for a resolution and missing each other, George II died of a heart attack in his office in the Royal Palace in Athens and was buried at Tatoi Palace.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
