<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 330494, member: 5833&quot;]The peasant himself I suspect was from an earlier time when the cameo was made.&nbsp; I&#039;m getting mixed signals on the age of the cameo.&nbsp; Setting is often a good clue, although repairs can be misleading.&nbsp; This has a 20th century hinge &amp; clasp but the overall feel of the cameo &amp; its less than perfect oval shape make it feel a little earlier.&nbsp; I can&#039;t tell from the photo if any of the hardware has been replaced.&nbsp; Cameos were not necessarily set near to the time they were made.&nbsp; Cameo cutters were not generally jewellers, so lots of cameos bought in Italy were not set until the tourist got them home, where they might get put away, unset until a later time.&nbsp; Yours I can only loosely put to 1880 - 1935.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
