Cameo of Flora, Large and Elaborate. Circa 1900-1915. Impressive and lovely, this Italian cameo makes good use of the warm hues of the conch shell. Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, is seen in bust right, her hair wreathed in roses with additional blooms draped over her shoulders. Her flesh is a delicate peach color, her garment creme, and the roses pastel oranges. Set in a simple gilt frame with twisted wire edging. Height: 68 mm. A jewel!
Estimated Value $300 - 450.
