19thC Neoclassic SHELL CAMEO EARRINGS c1860s
An unusual matching pair of Victorian carved shell cameo pierced earrings c1860-70. This 7/8" x 3/4" pair is mounted in gilt brass, and they depict two different and facing male Greek mythological or classical figures. One is a close likeness to the statue of Pericles of Athens, not sure who the other figure represents. This pair has dark highlights and they are in very good original condition with no chips, cracks, dents, bends, corrosion, damage or repairs other than the loss of the top of one of the cameos (not affecting the carving). All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the continental U.S. is $6 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Expresspost-air post and Fedex are available for faster shipping options - please email with your zip code or postal code for the rates. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.
