Assistant curator Isabella takes a closer look at an extraordinary 17th-century cabinet featuring stone mosaics by the renowned Castrucci family, master craftsmen who brought the rich colours of Bohemian jasper to the courts of Europe. Originally from Florence, the Castrucci settled in Prague under the patronage of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, creating works that celebrated the natural resources and artistic ambition of his empire. This cabinet comes from the renowned collection of Sir Arthur and Rosalinde Gilbert, transferred to Britain in 1996 and on long-term loan to the V&A since 2008. See it in the Gilbert Galleries at V&A South Kensington (Rooms 70–73). Link in bio for more info. #museumtok #historytime #vanda #historytok #museum
