A gold tiara in the Archeological taste by Castellani

A gold tiara in the Archeological taste by Castellani, designed as a laurel wreath with large berries and centred with a hexafoil spherical design, with gold frame and the flat reverse supports probably gilt metal. Signed with the monogram of inverted C's. 17cm.

Similar in style to the parure illustrated in plate 215, page 236, Geoffrey C. Munn, Tiara's A History of Splendour.

Similar, if not the same, as checklist 157, Castellani and Italian Archeological Jewelery, Editors: Soros and Walker. With reference to Design Dora Liscia Bemporad.
