<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 3058585, member: 5833&quot;]Check all over his web site.&nbsp; You&#039;ll see both his efforts to simultaneously sell new work, particularly portraits, while representing some of it as antique.&nbsp; Then there are his theories on how cameos can improve your eyesight, your appearance &amp; your psychological welfare.&nbsp; I hadn&#039;t looked at it in a while.&nbsp; The plaster casts of his cameos are a new line, as are the bell jars.&nbsp; Think the claim that the boxes are made by their own bookbinder is also new.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first found him on eBay I also questioned him about the age of a piece that had caught my eye.&nbsp; In those days he used to write long mineralogical descriptions along with the vague language about provenance.&nbsp; I got back a testy reply saying the language was clear enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years later, having apparently pegged me as a big buyer of cameos, in some way I still don&#039;t understand (eBay was less careful with member info then) he got hold of my personal e-mail &amp; wrote trying to sell me his cameos.&nbsp; Told him my most recent purchases were signed by well known 19th century gem engravers.&nbsp; He changed his approach, trying to make me a colleague, offering to help me.&nbsp; Also tried to sell me on a portrait of myself.&nbsp; Told him it was the last thing I needed.&nbsp; Mercifully, he did not persist in his efforts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
