Verified profile

These two girandoles were made by a great goldsmith to a design by Giocondo Albertolli, a Ticino architect who enjoyed unparalleled success in neoclassical Milan. The design for these girandoles was published in 1787 in the volume Some Decorations of Nobili Sale and other Ornaments and attests that they were intended for the side frames of a mirror in the Caryatids room of Palazzo Reale in Milan, badly damaged during the Second World War. A few years earlier, Albertolli had worked with Luigi Valadier, for the bronzes to be made at Palazzo Greppi, and the possibility that the creator of these furnishings is precisely the Roman goldsmith cannot be ruled out.
