Your new cameo is beautiful! I would have gone for that one, too. Lucky that the seller didn't have good pics. Congrats!
Very interesting. So based on the tables Komo provide, the bracelet was made in 1880.
It seems there may be writing on the reverse of the cameo starting at the bottom of the cameo and going up towards the pin. The cameo itself is...
Sorry that I am late to the party. I think it is a beautiful cameo, but agree that it is overpriced. I also agree that it is later than 1825. Did...
@Bronwen Are you still collecting pictures of portrait cameos for your Pinterest boards? There have been many recently. If so, let me know and I...
Some of us really like portrait cameos. Here's one that sold this morning on Ebay and was signed "Barbati"? I researched Barbati, but couldn't...
Good call!
I've been watching that lot, too. The hardstone cameo has an inscription on the back. I asked McInnis to supply a better picture, which they did...

I am amazed, too. It makes me want to know more about these people. There were many German carvers, but I feel like the vast majority have been...
YES!!! I hope I will find out some info. I would like to know so much more about the German carvers.
As promised, here are some pics of a cameo I purchased recently. It is signed C. WILD on the right side. There is nothing on the back. It is quite...
@Bronwen Did you ever get an answer from the auctioneer about the cameo? I saw one that recently sold by Etrusca Auctions that may be from a...
I wonder if this piece was intentially made for a jeweler to add the grapevines? It does have some detail, which is partially obscured by my bad...
I also have two more to show once I get home... a Greenough cameo and a C. Wild cameo. Here are the pics from the auctions. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] I, too, have multiple cameos from Michelini and Lamant - five each. After I got the magnifier I posted about several months ago, I went...
I've never had to clean a lava cameo either. I don't like lava cameos very much, so I only have a couple in my collection. I think the previous...
Yes - lucky me! I'll post pics when I receive it.
I saw something new to me when I was perusing Hindman's auction that starts tomorrow. It was an intaglio signed by Michelini. I searched and found...
Okay! Thanks. I knew about WP, but not Catawiki. I didn't know what these sites were called.
