Casket

Unknown maker for R. & S. Garrard & Co. British

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 554

These cameos, probably carved in a Neapolitan workshop, are based on ancient models as well as on works of the neoclassical sculptors Antonio Canova (1757–1822) and Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844). The client who purchased the cameos in Italy may have also commissioned the extraordinary casket on which they are mounted from the London firm Garrard & Co.
