Ernesto Pierret (1824–1870) was regarded as one of ‘Rome’s foremost artists, second only to Castellani, whose copies of ancient jewellery are of the highest quality’, according to a guide to Rome published by John Murray in 1869 | Geoffrey C. Munn, The Jewellers Castellani and Giuliano: A Return to Antiquity in the 19th Century, Office du Livre, Fribourg, Éditions Vilo, Paris 1983, p.160.
