A sardonyx and gold cameo, signed Morelli
Niccolò Morelli (1771–1838) made his mark on his era by distinguishing himself as one of the most famous and talented engravers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Morelli’s cameos are held in the world’s greatest museums and most prestigious private collections. Under the patronage of the Bonaparte family, Morelli fulfilled imperial commissions, drawing his inspiration from Greco-Roman antiquity.
