It is with great pleasure that we announce the opening of a new section dedicated to the fascinating world of the portrait miniature.The core of this collection comes from an important Genevan collection of miniatures from the Swiss school. As with the rest of the objects we present, we focus on pieces of high quality and, in a few cases, of museum standard.

Lion bracelet and two more pieces by Frascarolo & Co. had been loaned to the Petit Palais Museum in Paris for inclusion in the exhibition "Valenza, ou la Joaillerie Italienne" which took place from 8th to 28th February 2010.
