<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 2997964, member: 5833&quot;]Welcome, PepperAnna.&nbsp; Unfortunately, Xaveria was not included in the front line go-to reference, Leonard Forrer&#039;s Biographical Dictionary of Medalists..., so no bio info from there.&nbsp; Female gem engravers were few &amp; Forrer lists some of them, Xaveria was not excluded for being female, it&#039;s just that, huge as it is, Forrer&#039;s book still missed some.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did find this auction lot:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.lotsearch.net/lot/a-fine-louis-xvi-gold-box-set-with-cameos-and-moss-agate-panels-24699140?locale=en_GB" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.lotsearch.net/lot/a-fine-louis-xvi-gold-box-set-with-cameos-and-moss-agate-panels-24699140?locale=en_GB" rel="nofollow">https://www.lotsearch.net/lot/a-fine-louis-xvi-gold-box-set-with-cameos-and-moss-agate-panels-24699140?locale=en_GB</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The Pichlers, father Anton &amp; 2 sons Giovanni &amp; Luigi, were famous gem engravers.&nbsp; Xaveria must have been highly accomplished to have her work selected for this luxurious box.</p><p><br /></p><p>We would definitely love to see your cameo, front &amp; back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
