<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Batman_2000, post: 83983, member: 481&quot;]Thanks everyone... we&#039;ve had another tiring day, clearing the kitchen this time. I never realised such a small room could hold so much! Your best wishes are appreciated. Ownedbybear, dad&#039;s just been awarded attendance allowance thanks, which will help a lot. The paperwork took a lot of filling out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the cameos. The &#039;three graces&#039; one is much more rustic than the ones that come up on google (thanks Ladybranch, for giving it a name). On very close inspection, the &#039;pearls&#039; are actually tiny beads strung together.</p><p><br /></p><p>The larger cameo intrigues me and I can definitely see the likeness to Gen R E Lee <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. I wonder if the uniform can be identified? I also came across some portraits of Guiseppe Garibaldi, and see a likeness there too: <a href="http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/illustration/portrait-of-giuseppe-garibaldi-19th-century-stock-graphic/153414437" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/illustration/portrait-of-giuseppe-garibaldi-19th-century-stock-graphic/153414437" rel="nofollow">http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/illustration/portrait-of-giuseppe-garibaldi-19th-century-stock-graphic/153414437</a></p><p>What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the first (red) brooch, I&#039;d love it to be bohemian garnets... I&#039;ll definitely get that checked out. The brooch has a lovely sparkle to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few more pieces but will leave those for another day. Feet up now. Have a good evening everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
