Beautiful Art Nouveau styling, this antique brooch combines a wonderful classical portrait with an intricate filigree frame. The gold is a deep and rich yellow, and the filigree work is superb. The floral motif is carried over into the lady's hair and dress, with carefully carved roses perfectly placed to take advantage of the color of the shell.

Cameo is the art of carving a layered material, creating a portrait or landscape with the difference in the colors. While traditionally done in shell, banded onyx has been used in cameo work, particularly in Greece and Italy, for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
