How to Spot Hand Crafted Cameos
The features of the cameos have changed over the years. There is a saying ‘The Nose Knows’ that’s applicable here because we can date some cameos of women based on the shape of the nose. Long aquiline noses were the main stay until the 1940s and up turned noses were gradually phased in and replaced them. Cameos portraying buxom women with thicker necks were the fashion through the Victorian era and first third of the 20th century, while the newer ones reflect more elongated, narrow necks on slimmer ladies.
A cameo habille means a dressed cameo so these have little stones, sometimes diamonds, embedded in places like the figure’s hair or strung on a chain around the ladies neck.
