<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9730315, member: 79705&quot;]I saw a lot with 3 cameos and instantly thought one looked like a familiar carver. Of course the photos were blasted out and far away so I asked for a closer photo. The signature was only slightly visible when zoomed, but it was as I suspected and I still can&#039;t believe it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]473596[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]473597[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It was at one point owned by a prominent antique dealer, but I guess she didn&#039;t note that it was carved by Tommaso Saulini so the seller didn&#039;t notice either. To be fair, the shell is one of those that shimmers when tilted and the sig is very hard to see and difficult to photograph. It makes me more suspect of other pieces that don&#039;t appear to have a signature from photos... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie97" alt=":watching:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> These are the cleaned up photos since he was a bit dirty and had sticker residue.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the way he does hair and I&#039;m so glad this gent has a beard and moustache to really make the most of the carver&#039;s expertise!</p><p><br /></p><p>I did not think I&#039;d ever be able to afford a Saulini so this is probably going to make me very happy for a long while. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie29" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
