I think image search will get increasingly better, the more things it 'sees' & has identified. I haven't tried in a while, but first time I put...
Condition wear to cameo, some dents to mount, bent pin stem Their 'wear to cameo' is what you are seeing that makes it look less good than it...
In 2015, sold for $600, 6 Bids. Mount said to be 10K. It doesn't cost anything to register with LiveAuctioneers.
Well, this: [ATTACH] plus the depth of the frame, make me think this was once part of one of those brooches that swivel to show a cameo or other...
That's my opinion too & why I wanted to show them side by side. The majority of the cameos the Met owns are part of the Milton Weil collection,...
LOL I thought they looked familiar. They've been to antiquers before. If MCT had not already found it, I was going to check whether I was right...
He looks extremely well carved. One in the Met by Luigi Michelini is not in a frame at all; admittedly he is not on display either. He lives in...

Excellent! I used to take dance classes & do love to dance, but never did any kind of social dancing on a regular basis. Believe me, it was a...
A+ Of course it is not the cameo that was carved, it's molded. It's actually quite elaborate, as well as a bit weird (I before E. Hah!). The...
This is going to sound soooo snotty. I have a copy, signed by Draper. I made him do it in compensation for standing me up the first time we had...
A snake in a chalice. I forget how it goes, but there's something about an attempt to poison him. With that info, you'll be able to find it quickly.
That's why I wanted you to see a more accurate example. This is because I keep overlooking the very lightly etched sideburns! Going out now.
If the expression were not so stern, I would have said the engraver was going for Athena. I find this one very ambiguous. [ATTACH]
Follow up. Taking a good look at the plaster impressions, have to guess the engraver of this one was not working from a good source. A poor...
