This expertly carved antique Victorian Bullmouth Shell cameo depicts a man or child at prayer on the banks of a river. It’s surrounded by a rope-edge frame fashioned in silver and gilded in yellow gold.
Cameo jewellery was highly sought after in the 19th Century during the “Grand Tour” days when tourists developed a fascination with destinations such as Rome. They were a personal favourite of Queen Victoria also and were carved in the same classic style, usually depicting Gods and characters from mythology.
Dating to the mid-19th Century, this exquisite Victorian cameo brooch is a fitting tribute to the skills of the jewellers of the age and is a highly collectable piece of Victorian heritage that has remained in excellent condition.
