Cameo Signature Help Needed

I'll have to think about the subject. Suspect a saint despite lack of a clear halo.

Meanwhile, does anyone else see "Lamant" written twice, at right angles to each other, with different 'L's & 't's? Shared work?

 

I see even more than two. When I turn my screen I see them in a few different places. Maybe more pictures from different angles will help. It's a really nice cameo though.

 

Identity crisis?

 

Yes. And the one written horizontally looks like "Lamant" while the one written vertically looks like "Lamont".

 

I found this gold filled pendant/brooch the other day, 1 1/2"L, marked F.S.G.F. Is the signature/letters on the back by the carver? Looks like 'Sco'. The pendant part is different, I don't think I've seen one with a hinge before. Is the cameo fairly modern?
any information appreciated
thanks for looking

 

Scognamiglio comes to mind first, although the writing starts awfully close to center for such a long name.

thank-you Bronwen, off to check out the link

 

Cameo gurus-- I need help with a signature. I read this as Poinsignon, which I believe it correct. However, in researching, there are several Poinsignon cameo engravers. Does anyone have an idea to which Poinsignon this signature this might belong?

 

Hmmm her face looks much like Bronwen's....Erato? I think that was also a Poinsignon?

She's awfully lovely and that's a stunning frame.

 

Yes, the frame is beautiful and the carving is very nice. It is for sale, but I am on the fence about it because it is a bit pricy.

 

What a memory Mirana has!

Added to Pepper's example, we can compare 3, which all look like the same hand to me.



Suspect they are all the work of the M. Poinsignon of 111 rue de Turenne. Albert is recorded by Forrer as working in hardstone.

 

I re-read this thread with interest last month so I had a refresher. That flower cameo is so delicate and lovely! Definitely a match on those signatures.
