Specialist Notes
Accompanied by expertise from Ulrich Middeldorf, Florence, 8 September 1970, who considers them to be ‘of beautiful casting and patina of the period and in excellent condition’.
The National Museum of the Bargello, Florence, preserves the prototype by Niccolò Roccatagliata (Genoa c. 1559 - Venice 1629), dating from the first quarter of the 17th century. The pair of andirons in the Bargello testifies to Niccolò Roccatagliata's adherence to the late Mannerist taste that persisted in Venice due to the influence of Vittoria, Campagna and Aspetti even around the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the following century
