Carlo Giuliano (d. 1895), a Neapolitan by birth, worked for the Castellani firm in Italy and is thought to have been set up in business in London by Alessandro Castellani. His early work in London closely resembles Castellani's productions in the classical manner. He later evolved a distinctive style of his own, using stones and enamel to create rich polychromatic effects.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Case containing gold grains \r\nEngland, London, about 1865-70; made by Carlo Giuliano (1831-1895) \r\nGold with enamel, glass and gold grains","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"putti","id":"AAT250465"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["26-1896"],"accessionNumberNum":"26","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":1896,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":["2017JT1039","2019LN5165","2019LT2642","2019LU1351"],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-16","recordCreationDate":"2005-08-31","availableToBook":false}}
