<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 330279, member: 5833"]Ah, this points out something I was overlooking: styles & techniques have stayed the same for long periods of time when it comes to NA work, while cameos changed in selection of subject, quality of work & setting features such as hinges & clasps a great deal 1840 - 1940. If someone represents a 1930s cameo as from the 1880s, I can easily tell it is not. In that way NA silver is more like Roman intaglios. If the seller's representation is not reliable, you may not be able to know what you are really getting. Collectors' values are essentially the same in both areas; evidence given by the work itself is not. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
