Thanks, both!
This cameo is currently on eBay. I can't make out the signature/name on the reverse. Does anyone have an idea of what it may be? Thanks. I am not...
Thanks, Bronwen, for sending the link to Pierluigi. The Mercury cameo is very nice, especially the horses.
There is also a Louis Zoellner cameo on Ebay. It is based on the painting "Aurora" by Jean Louis Hamon. Surprisingly, the original painting is...
If anyone wants to add a Francesco Carnesecchi cameo to their collection, there is an unset one on eBay. I let the seller know about the signature...
I am here with my Mom and Dad (Dad was in the hospital several days for a medical emergency). They are both German. I will ask my Mom to...

[ATTACH] @mirana, that cameo from the Fitzwilliam Museum is stunning. What caught my eye, however, was the setting. I have 2 cameos with the exact...
I realized a couple of the commesso cameo pictures didn't upload correctly (too big) so I replaced them. Sorry!
It would be great to figure out the Lamant mystery. To add to it, here are a couple of cameos I found over the weekend. I didn't know Lamant made...
A lovely and unusual cameo. What a great find. It is really special.
I looked for both of those to no avail. Also tried Larnanoni and the like, no luck. I will keep looking.
