Il niello è una antica tecnica eseguita con incrostazioni metalliche per dare risalto alle incisioni e ai disegni.
E’ una interessante tecnica ornamentale tipica dell’arte orafa e conosciuta sin dall’antichità – basti pensare che la utilizzavano gli antichi egizi, così come gli artigiani micenei – trovò ampia pratica in oriente e nei manufatti bizantini. Questo metodo consiste nell’applicare sulle incisioni, per riempirle, un composto costituito da rame, argento, piombo, zolfo e borace; tale amalgama, una volta tolto l’eccesso, colora i segni di nero rendendo più netto e leggibile il disegno. Può anche essere stesa sull’argento come pittura, ed è questo in parte il nostro caso, creando motivi che, a differenza dello smalto, non hanno nessuno spessore e soprattutto non si scrostano e rovinano nel tempo.
Descrizione
Old Ring with elongated chevalier shape – 2×1.1 cm the upper side, with refined floral decoration made in niello, an ancient technique using metal scales to emphasize the engravings and the drawings.
Interesting ornamental technique typical of the artworks of goldsmiths and known since ancient times – it was widely used by the ancient Egyptians, as well as Mycenaean artisans – it found ample practice in Eastern and Byzantine artifacts. This method consists in filling the incisions with a compound consisting of copper, silver, lead, sulfur and borax; this amalgamation, once removed the excess, colors the carvings with a black hue making them clearer and more readable. It can also be spread on silver as painting – and this is our case – creating patterns that, unlike the enamel, have no thickness and especially they do not peel off and ruin with time.
