<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 366510, member: 5833&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; Michelini started out in Rome but moved to Paris 1929/30.&nbsp; He not only made his own work, he was also proprietor of a shop.&nbsp; In Paris he was taken under the wing of Girometti, who urged him to move into working hardstone.&nbsp; I have other pieces by him &amp; it is interesting to see how his skill developed.&nbsp; All but one of mine are shell, but suspect he continued to work in that medium even as he was also making some hardstone pieces.&nbsp; The one hardstone cameo of his that I have seems to be what I would call a bread &amp; butter piece,&nbsp; something he could make relatively quickly &amp; easily and made repeatedly.&nbsp; Here&#039;s another of his more accomplished shell pieces:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]125551[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
