Lot 185
A diamond, pearl and enamel Renaissance revival pendant by Carlo Giuliano, the diaper outline quatrefoil jewel set to the centre with an old cushion cut diamond with a seed pearl border, in an ornate pierced surround of white-patterned mid-blue enamel lines punctuated by leaf trefoils set with small old cushion-mine cut diamonds and by seed pearl trefoils, suspending an enamel and oval pearl drop, to a trifurcated seed pearl, diamond and enamel bale; both principal feature and bale with oval cartouches containing initials 'CG'; overall length 9.1cm; one small diamond and one seed pearl lacking and some losses to enamel Other Notes: Carlo Giuliano (1831-1895) was a Neapolitan who trained in Rome (conceivably in the Castellani workshop, already renowned and a mecca for tourists by the 1850s) where his interest in archeological and historical styles developed. He moved with his family to London around 1860, setting up a workshop, though without, in the early days, a retail outlet to go with it, relying rather on established retailers such as Hunt & Roskell, CF Hancock and Robert Phillips. Many of his pieces were inspired by Hellenistic, Etruscan, Egyptian or Assyrian artifacts, but he is principally known for his Renaissance Revival jewels. They are of exquisite craftsmanship and complex design, predominantly enamelled 'en ronde bosse', but usually with a limited colour palette - opaque black and white or blue and white being especially favoured. He incorporated gemstones - often pearls, sometimes diamonds, but other very precious and faceted stones are used sparingly, and less precious gems cut en cabochon are more frequently used. These materials and techniques were especially suited to pendants, chain or fringe necklaces, bracelets and pendant earrings. In 1874 he opened his own shop in Piccadilly which his two sons, Carlo and Arthur, continued after his death until the death of the latter in 1914. Carlo senior seems habitually to have signed his work with his initials in an oval cartouche, as with this example; sometimes there will also be another stamp of the retailer - i.e., H&R for Hunt & Roskell; the sons' work has a cartouche with C&AG; his brothers Federico and Ferdinando were also skilled goldsmiths working in London in the same traditions, but appear not to have signed their work. Our piece is in a very typical design from Carlo Giuliano - a diaper or lozenge form, with bale and pendant drop - features materials that are also entirely characteristic and is a work of marvellous craftsmanship .
