<p>[QUOTE="popsycat, post: 3088721, member: 1904"]Once again, in a UK saleroom a cameo has sold for a lot over etimate. I have seen this happen a few times this year with signed cameos. At Sworders on nov 17th, a cameo estimated at £250-350 sold for £15,000. It was a hardstone cameo pendant in its original fitted case, signed Girometti. Probably Guieppe Girometti a highly regarded gem engraver and sculptor to the vatican c1850. It is not beyond the expertise of the salerooms to just google the names engraved on the cameos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
