This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.
The cameo is beautifully carved on a remarkably even shell.
The work is signed by the carver, whose identity remains unknown.
The cameo is framed by an elegant openwork 9ct gold mount. Its long gold pin and original C-shaped catch are consistent with early Victorian construction; the catch works correctly.
