Sain George killing the Dragon Materials: shell, brass. Size of the cameo: 2 1/8 x 1 5/8 Size with frame: 2 1/4 x 2 3/8 Date and origin: Italy, ca 1820-30 The frame, coeval to the cameo, is English Condition: mint. Superb and impressive large cameo, carved in almost high-relief by a true masterd hand. As any collector knows, this subject is very hard to find, above all of this quality. Please check on the largest picture how well carved are the details. The cameo has a writing on its back side: Brogi. Is possible this is the signature of the carver. The frame is as well excellent, and in excellent, I would say near mint, condition. Very desirable and collectable piece.
