Micromosaics Snuff Boxes From A Private Collection

Aside this tourist market, the mosaicists also sold to clients abroad. When visiting the studio of Filippo Puglieschi, Giuseppe Antonio Guattani noted "una splendida commissione proveniente dal North", comprising some 450 pieces, including jewellery, boxes and pictures. That this was not a unique order appears to be confirmed by the number of Roman micromosaic plaques to be found in the work of certain northern goldsmiths such as Alexander James Strachan (cat. 14 and 16) and Jean François Bautte (cat. 18).
