Title
Egyptian-Style Necklace with Scarabs
Description
English: Archaeological jewelry decorated with ancient and modern scarabs was popular in Europe during the second half of the 19th century. The Castellani workshop was famous for its copies of ancient jewelry, and this necklace has been attributed Giacinto Melillo, one of Alessandro Castellani's apprentices and protégés (this necklace bears his mark on the clasp). He later took over Castellani's workshop in Naples, which Henry Walters visited in 1903.
