On Sundays we revisit our time from TEFAF fairs by sharing photos from our community.

The last show where Tommaso Saulini exhibited his work was at the International Exhibition of 1862 in London. Among the cameos he exhibited was a gem entitled ‘Aurora driving her biga’ which was carved in a three layered hardstone. Given this description and the monumental scale of this cameo, it seems highly likely that this gem was the same as that exhibited in 1862.

Detail of ‘Aurora in her Biga’ Cameo by Tommaso Saulini (1793-1864) Orange and white sardonyx Signed: ‘T. SAULINI. F’ Rome, circa 1860 Presented by @wartski1865 during #TEFAFNY 2019

This cameo is carved from a single piece of orange and white sardonyx, depicting the Roman goddess of the dawn Aurora riding her chariot across the sky, being pulled by two horses. Mounted in a yellow gold brooch, the border decorated with twisted wirework, beading and cells of blue enamel.
