AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important very old noble heraldic coat of arms in a wooden period frame, dating to the 18th century, cobalt blue and gold leaf.
In the auction, an extraordinary and refined heraldic coat of arms from ancient manufacture, executed in oil on parchment, tempera, or parchment paper, enriched with gold and silver applications and highlights.
The work represents and depicts the coat of arms of the noble Botto family, complete and adorned with a helmet, crown with nine mullets, heraldic flourishes, and a cartouche.
The drawing features a dominating chromatic capture with hand-executed details and very precious decorations.
The frame is very old, called a cassettone (cassette) with gold and cobalt blue finishes in gold leaf.
The shield presents elegant diagonal bands in azure and argent, topped by the historic Florentine lily.
The rich mantling completes the composition with historical charm.
