Telearte decided to dedicate a special auction to an important art form, gold and micromosaic boxes, fine examples of the link between art, functionality and precious materials.
Gold boxes were often made on commission and given as gifts on important occasions; therefore, they were often decorated with various depictions, including noble portraits.
Items in the vertu sector have always fascinated lovers of rare and valuable items and are now experiencing a renaissance.
A perfect blend of history, art, and inventiveness, these small objects were often designed with a practical purpose: they were small boxes, tobacco or perfume bottles, cigarette cases, or other utilitarian items.
