Antique Victorian Cameo…..

Fabulous Mid Victorian Cameo C.1860 set in a 9ct gold florate engraved frame.

The unusual subject matter is Moses being brought up to Heaven (thank you fellow Ebayer John for leting me know) in all my years’ collecting Cameos  I have never come across this scene before.

It has been very well done with high relief showing the folds in the cloth etc.

A good size, it is 2 ½” (6.4cm) tall x 2” (5cm) wide (including frame).

The frame is unmarked but test as 9ct – there is a star shape carved on the rear – not sure if this is a signature or merchants mark.

It is in excellent condition with no cracks or fractures. The Cameo fastens at the rear with a steel hinged pin and C catch.

Boxes

This very fabulous Cameo will come in a velvet lined, double door vintage style box which looks fabulous and is perfect for giving. It is also substantial enough to protect the Cameo in transit.
