Victorian Micro Mosaic Brooch of the Pantheon in Rome

876S
Written by Olly Gerrish

This little work of art was made circa 1860-1880. It is a survival from the Grand Tour where such pieces would have been sold in Rome as in this example. It represents the Pantheon in Rome. The practice of creating micro mosaic is fascinating and involves inserting minute different coloured glass rods in to a glue base to create a design which is then polished and waxed. It was an incredibly time consuming process.
