ANTIQUES and COLLECTIBLES
Do you love art? How about a mini-work of art that is wearable and displayable. We would consider that to be the best of all worlds. We are, of course, referring to “Cameos”.
Early Cameos were made from stone. Workmen turned to shell in the 16th century to meet the demand for Cameos made from onyx, agate, sardonyx, cornelian, coral, lava, jet, helmet and conche shells. Standard shapes used are oval, round, square and rectangular. The materials used to make frames or mountings include gold, silver, pinchback, gold-filled, cut steel and jet. Jewelry items made using Cameos are bracelets, brooches, pendants, rings, earrings and watch fobs.
We invite you to come by Stanleys and see these exquisite works of art. Our estate department has many Cameo examples for you to hold, inspect and study up close. We will be more than happy to visit with you about these beautiful works of art.
