Massive Victorian Carnelian Cameo Shell
This is a very large example of a carnelian shell, such pieces often being used for the creation of cameos in the nineteenth century and before. This example has been polished in certain areas to give the shell a more elegant and finely worked decoration suitable for use as a table ornament. Carved carnelian cameo shells were favoured souvenirs from the Grand Tour and were found mainly in the North and West African waters. This piece is of an exceptionally large size, which is both desirable in itself and occurs much less frequently.| Size: | 16 cm x 14 cm x 11 cm |
| Weight: | na |
| Date: | 19th century |
| Condition: | Excellent condition, no issues |
| Estimate: | £40 – 60 |
