19th century Italian Grand Tour style collection plaster and terracotta classical cameos and intaglios.
These are small, finely detailed plaster or terracotta relief casts. They were popular 18th and 19th-century souvenirs from the "Grand Tour" of Europe, often depicting classical Roman and Greek figures, myths, or historical portraits. The collection is meticulously arranged in a vertical, symmetrical pattern against a bold red ground, creating a dramatic contrast that highlights each individual cast. The wooden frame features the iconic hand painted deep green, swirling "botryoidal" patterns characteristic of malachite.
