Large Hand Carved Antique Cameo, Psyche and Cupid, 9k Gold Mount - English Marks tapestry both stoppers with this setA beautiful early 20th century to late Edwardian cameo, a Grand Tour souvenir, no doubt. This one is mounted in a fine and hallmarked 9k gold mount, yellow in color. The carving is charming, detailed and a scene with 4 figures, including 2 putti, and a lyre playing woman. I travel to Italy regularly and I know that a cameo of this quality and size, detail, purchased now would be more than double our list price. Very good to excellent condition, I see
