<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 9470327, member: 17332&quot;]I have one signed by Reverchon dated 1867. It is signed on both the obverse and reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Historical (Real) Person Cameo</b></p><p><b>Queen Marie Henriette of Belgium</b></p><p><b>23 August 1836 – 19 September 1902</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>She was born an Austrian and was wed to King Leopold II in 1853. By all accounts, it was a very unhappy marriage, as they were not suited to each other and both had opposed the arranged marriage. By 1872 they lived separately, only been seen together during public affairs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The cameo I have is signed &quot;Reverchon&quot; under the neck, &quot;camee grave in 1867&quot; below under the neck, and at the bottom of the cameo is written &quot;? M La Reine Du Belgique&quot;, which has been scratched out. On the back is written &quot;Reverchon graveur 1867&quot;. The cameo is set into a gold picture frame, although it is not large and could have easily been set as a brooch. The writing on the back is hard to read and photograph, as the picture frame stand cannot be moved put of the way.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I found a photograph of Queen Marie Henriette that was the basis for the carving.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]442959[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442960[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442966[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
