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...
My grandparents had the gnome with the basket on his back and the mushroom in their garden. I remember it from when I visited as a child.
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 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.
Heritage Auctions has a Berini cameo in the March 19th auction....
Very cool. Thanks for posting this one. I would love to find one for my collection. What is an auction data scraper site? I haven't heard this...
You are probably right!
Most do lapidary work, but several still produce modern cameos. I haven't seen any neoclassical cameos. There is a museum there as well as...
Ding, ding, ding! You are correct. I posted a pic of the Brown intaglio back in December. Since then I have seen a few others mostly in shell.
There was a Saulini cameo of a Civil War military person that sold a while back for $7-8,000. I think the name was Randall. I'll see if I can find...
Absolutely! I am going to Europe for 2 months starting in May; one of my stops will be Idar. Another will be the Kuntzmuseum in Vienna, which is...
