<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 329999, member: 5833"]I'm only seeing this now because wasn't a member when the post was new, but Aquitane has directed me here to look at piece she has added to thread, so took a look all through. You got lots of good tips from others. Dying to know what you ultimately bought, if you did end up buying a cameo. Of the ones you showed, only the Antinous had any real value as a cameo itself, independently from the setting. The hairlines are common in older cameos & did not see any that would really be considered flaws. Going by the findings, more like 20s-30s than 50s. Pretty ladies wearing flowers can be very pretty, but are also very common, a 30s look. The Terpsichore is her sister Erato, rarer than pretty ladies; common in comparison with Antinous, who was the young 'companion' of the Emperor Hadrian & drowned in the Nile under mysterious circumstances.</p><p><br /></p><p>So whadja buy?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
