Romeo & Juliet? With J in a hockey mask?
Not likely to be an antiquity. Probably modern replica, perhaps sold as souvenir.
I don't think I realized there were so many of this type. Things that were in sleeves I left untouched. It started with Valentines, but my...
The conch shell bacchante you like is a very nice piece. The conch shell lady below is nothing special. A shame about the Three Graces. An...
The maker of the pendant would have bought cameos by the job lot from another firm that produced them. Cameo portraits such as these of men could...
No, something else had brought me into the neighborhood & I made a point to pass by, since it was on my route. Stan was visible from an outside...
While I like books with some trace of previous history - owner's siganture, bookplate, etc. - collectors want pristine copies, without stamps from...
I find looking through cameo listings very dispiriting these days. Anything at all nice is apt to be >$1,000; things in the $300 (asking) range...

Think we can rule out its having been painted in 1811.
The National Portrait Gallery might be interested in seeing this.
This thread has rather twisted along into a tangled skein, but I suppose is no worse than having many separate threads. I generally advise...
I think it's a duck.
She was hand cut in helmet shell. She's probably mass produced in the sense that 'Stani' likely has cut the same scene repeatedly, but each one...
Welcome, Amanda. Looks like you have your media set to private, so we can't see. Think the tool 'Media Gallery Embed' (the camera icon) lets you...
Separate names with a comma.
