[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 3156720, member: 16674"]I have only just seen this, thanks. I sent our cameo to a UK auction house, and am not too impressed: "Apologies for the delayed response. Our consultant has now had the chance to look at the images you have provided. From the images he would suggest that the agate cameo itself is probably mid-19th century and is of a classical lady, possibly Flora. The silver gilt mount is certainly later, probably post 1950. He would suggest an auction estimate of £300-400, with a 10% discretionary reserve." This Goddess Flora: [ATTACH=full]295075[/ATTACH] This is our cameo: [ATTACH=full]295076[/ATTACH] This is Bronwell's analysis (Antinous Brashi): [ATTACH=full]295077[/ATTACH] 'Consultants' - I'll go with Bronwell and Antinous Brashi. Is it worth going back and querying the gender and subject?[/QUOTE]
