CALANDRELLI (Ital.). Gem-engraver of the beginning of the nineteenth century. He produced a considerable number of forgeries, most of which were purchased as antique by the Berlin Museum in 1847. Furtwaengler surmises that he was the author of a cameo, in the same museum, signed A?A?OMOYC . EM. The great demand for gems in England, Germany, Russia, and France, under the first Empire, and later, set a number of forgers at work, and for a time Europe was inundated with their productions, which mostly originated at Rome and Naples. In the collection of Baroness Roger de Sivry, sold at Paris in April 1904, was a fine cameo representing Leda and the Swan, in white agate, signed KA?AN?PE??I. Bibliography. — Babelon, op. cit.
