<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 9595131, member: 17332&quot;]I recently bought this cameo and was happily surprised to find a signature on the front of the cameo that was not visible in the terrible eBoo pictures. The carver was G. Gabrielli. After a little searching, I found 3 other cameos by Gabrielli and a little write up in &quot;The Royal Academy of Arts: A Complete Dictionary of contributors and their work from its foundation in 1769 to 1904, Volume 3&quot;. It seems that Guiseppe Gabrielli liked to carve portraits of the Royal Family, which leads me to believe that my cameo and two others I found are of Queen Victoria.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]464937[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]464938[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]464930[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>He is also listed in Forrer&#039;s.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]464936[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This cameo subject is very similar to mine. It sold last week at auction for over 1800 euro. This cameo is set by Ernesto Pierret, who supposedly rivaled Castellani at the time. It is signed on the front and back, but Gabrielli is not mentioned in the lot description, only Pierret.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]464931[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]464932[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I found another on Worthpoint, but don&#039;t know when it sold or for how much.</p><p>Again, very similar lady to mine. This one is set in 18K gold. The pictures aren&#039;t great,&nbsp; but the signature is faintly visible behind her back.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]464934[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]464935[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
