Intaglios comes from the Italian word intagliare, meaning "to incise or carve". Intaglios, generally speaking, are designs or motifs carved and sunk into a surface, and they added a touch of elegance and sophistication to home interiors. In the Victorian era, they were popular in various forms, including as decorative elements on walls. The craftsmanship involved in creating these intaglios was quite detailed, requiring skilled artisans to carve or mold the designs.
These intaglios depict a pair of plaster oval frames with frontal glass, displaying a collection of semi-relief intaglios, with classical figures and scenes. less
