Vintage Oval Cameo Framed #1, ca. 1940s. Cameo itself is quite large
measuring 2-1/2”H x 1-3/4”W x ~1/2”D (with frame 6-3/4”H x 5-3/4”W x
7/8”D). Hand-carved most likely from shell, depicting a lovely young lady
facing to her left with beautifully coiffed hair, elegant period dress and a
single flower on her shoulder. What’s particularly stunning about this
cameo is, that instead of being inset as part of a brooch, this one has
been treated as a piece of art, mounted onto a green velveteen matte,
accented by a gold-leaf inner framing matte with center oval, framed by a
lovely carved wood frame with floral trim. The finished product is a true
work of art, (if you prefer to wear your art, cameo can be safely removed
from the backing and made into a brooch). In excellent condition.
