Masterpiece Cameo of Jupiter Attributed to Giuseppe Girometti, circa 1820

An exceptional neoclassical cameo depicting the head of Jupiter, attributed to the renowned Italian gem engraver Giuseppe Girometti (1780–1851), circa 1820. Finely carved in pink and white sardonyx, the profile of the supreme Roman god is rendered with striking detail—his laurel wreath, flowing beard, and noble expression symbolizing power and wisdom.

The cameo is mounted in an elaborate openwork gold frame with intricate filigree decoration, enhancing its classical elegance. This exquisite piece reflects the refined artistry of early 19th-century Italian glyptic work, and Girometti’s signature style—realism, balance, and anatomical precision.

A rare and museum-worthy collector’s item, ideal for connoisseurs of antique jewelry, neoclassical art, and Grand Tour treasures.
