Offered is a gorgeous antique carved shell cameo depicting the Three Graces. The shell is finely carved with beautiful detail and coloring. It is mounted in an ornately worked brass frame with the original c clasp and t hinge. It measures 2 1/4" by 2 1/8" in frame. It is in good wearable antique condition (circa 1870). There is some light chipping and scratching on back of shell not visible to front, a couple of scrolls on front missing their decorative caps, some solder visible on back of frame. All mentioned for accuracy, but does not detract from beauty in normal presentation. Beautiful piece of Victorian period jewelry for your collection. Thank you for looking and please see my other listings for more cameos and vintage jewelry items both fine and costume!
