I am sure you're quite right.
I know the illustrations will be beautiful. Let us know how author(s) define Grand Tour. Although it is widely used for any tour of Europe made...
Maybe you gents can manage with one, but the ladies...
Sometimes you wonder what message cameo owners were trying to convey. The cameo on this bracelet clasp is not a bacchanalia as stated in the...

Having the slant lid in place of another drawer seems to me totally inconsistent with a jewellery box. You can never have enough drawers on a...

Since this is a guide for tourists, the picture is probably a snap shot of a group traveling together when they were on the ship Assyria. A...
Definitely ivory & if not a napkin ring, can't imagine what it is.
Part of the purpose of the thread is to answer questions like this. :)
This is a contemporary cameo, ultrasonically cut in banded chalcedony that has been dyed to that color. The marks are for a Neapolitan maker of...
