EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable micro-mosaic table adorned with the coats of arms of Norfolk and Leveson-Gower. Created in 1847 by the Italian School, this exquisite piece is crafted from wood, metal, and micro-mosaic. The table was skillfully carved by Morant, while the intricate micro-mosaic on its tabletop was meticulously made in Rome by Michelangelo Barberi. Commissioned by His Grace The Duke of Norfolk for Arundel Castle, this masterpiece reflects both elegance and heritage. The thirteenth Duke's coat of arms is impaled with those of his wife, Charlotte Leveson-Gower, symbolizing their union through marriage. The craftsmanship displayed on this table is truly awe-inspiring. Delicate garlands of flowers intertwine with vibrant fruit motifs while regal lions stand guard at each corner. Horses grace the scene as well, adding a touch of wildlife to this ornate creation. Every detail on this decorative piece speaks volumes about botany and natural history. It seamlessly blends artistry with scientific precision to create a harmonious fusion that captivates viewers' attention. This print not only captures the beauty and intricacy of the micro-mosaic table but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Its presence evokes admiration for both the artist's skill and dedication required to bring such an extraordinary work into existence.
