<p>[QUOTE="laura9797, post: 466186, member: 9323"]Removed from frames and the oval portraits appear to be glued down. I am not seeing any cross hatching to indicate ivory (would thin sliced ivory still show that?) and they are not cold to the touch as porcelain might be. These are likely gouache and enamel. The silver frames are stamped Cartier, .925 and "ITALY". I am sure originally they had glass covers which have been converted into thick lucite. Really cool looking.
