<p>[QUOTE=&quot;queen V cameo, post: 5439050, member: 79285&quot;]Just to clear things up and prove why the expert is wrong again, so very eager to dismiss my rare cameo, adamant it doesn’t look anything like a version of john gibsons Victoria.. which in fact made 2 of them.. one given in 1847 after the first lot of cameos saulini did for Prince Albert.. this cameo being a version of this statue, and the second in 1849, one was from Albert to Victoria and vice Versa.</p><p>gibson was living in Rome and working on the first Victoria from 1844 from various drawings he had made, he wanted a different approach from the traditional type of statue and proceeded to make Victoria a version of an Ancient Greek statue, saulini had completed this cameo before John gibson altered the final first statue, he was ordered to make her look more royal, the tiara with Chased dolphins was made to resemble a coronet instead, a wreath was placed in one hand, a scroll in the other.. emblems of the Bristish isles added ( all had meaning which I won’t go into ).. I have more information about my cameo, but I don’t want to go on and on so here’s a few details the experts keen eye clearly missed, apparently my cameo doesn’t have the correct hair, the head piece differs.. it looks similar to other statues but not the one John gibson did, if you notice on my cameo which is the side view of the statue- there is a dolphin to the front with waves running down the sides, beadwork along the bottom long and small.. the hair is not plaited at the front but coiled and plaited at the back twisted into a bun, she has the Partial mouth gap, everything is exactly like John gibsons Victoria apart from the tiara that was made to look like a coronet ( the points on top is the ONLY thing that differs )..here is the face..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
