[QUOTE="PepperAnna, post: 9703095, member: 17332"]Based on info that we have discussed here on various threads, as well as the interesting and detailed information from Pierluigi's site, Francesco Carnesecchi was active from the 1820s to the early 1870s. Over his lifetime, he had shops in Rome, Paris, Naples and London. It seems that he moved back and forth between these cites at various times in his life. With his cameos, I can think of 3 reasons why they might look different, and there are probably others: 1) his skill and artistry improved over the years, 2) he had apprentices who did the less expensive cameos but they were signed Carnesecchi, or 3) he bought cameos from others and signed his name to them to indicate they were sold by his shop. With multiple shops, he probably could not have singlehandedly carved all the cameos he sold. It is possible that all 3 reasons may have been happening in tandem.[/QUOTE]
