JapanX Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 There was a time when this order was one of the most beautiful orders in the world not only by design, but also by quality of manufacturing… Let’s take a look at pieces that came from this glorious time! The earliest in this small gallery – made in gold and incrusted with precious stones (Spada Collection). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
