[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2243361, member: 2844"]I am not sure Peruzzi ever did big pieces like that. Peruzzi designed silver components, had them made in southern Italy, and then transported north to Florence. There the components were assembled into jewellery using stone beads, often sodalite. Assembling was done in their tiny workshop over the shop on the Ponte Vecchio, and still is. If it is indeed Peruzzi, the scene has to be in Florence somewhere, since they were/are a Florentine souvenir jewellery shop, using Florentine themes. They became famous for affordable Grand Tour jewellery.[/QUOTE]
