This unmounted Victorian shell cameo from the 1850s is a unique hand-carved piece featuring a classical lady’s bust with detailed floral and draped gown design. Discovered inside an 1800s sewing box, this antique cameo reflects Greco-Roman style and craftsmanship. It measures approximately 1.25” x 0.75” and weighs 9.1 grams. There is a small visible mark on the face (cheek area), origin unknown—it may be residue or an inclusion, but no cleaning has been attempted. Beautifully detailed, including floral elements in her hair, the carving has aged naturally and may benefit from gentle cleaning. This piece was discovered in a 19th-century sewing box, offering historical charm and authenticity. A wonderful find for antique jewelry collectors, restoration artists, or anyone who appreciates Victorian craftsmanship. Please view all photos as they are the best description.
