Empirex 10 Posted May 26, 2012 So cameo moulds are not quite my field of expertise so thought maybe folks here might be able to help out a little in terms of worth. Got the following 126 piece set from around the 1850's. I believe they are made out of a fine plaster of Paris. The dark colouring on some of the moulds is just dust build-up. As you can see on the underside of the lid, the sculpture's name is Antoine Odelli.

Empirex 10 Posted May 26, 2012 Wide variety on ebay. Not really, most of the listings are for modern items. There is only 1 listing there that really comes close which is this one - 2 Framed Collection of Grand Tour Red Clay Figural Molds Cameo Intaglio Seals - and it only features 10 cameo's or so.

mellowred 10 Posted May 27, 2012 I think they are something called "Intaglios". Things That Inspire: Favorite Design Element: Framed Intaglios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Empirex 10 Posted May 27, 2012 Try this link. Or Google Antoine Odelli. GT171eng Thank you, much appreciated! Apparently my search engine abilities are sorely lacking as I spent hours searching for items relating to Antoine Odelli and only came up with third party references. Go figure :hm: I think they are something called "Intaglios". Things That Inspire: Favorite Design Element: Framed Intaglios From what I understand a Cameo would a piece that has the carving / image protruding; while an Intaglio creates an impression, or indent, in the mould.

Go figure :hm: Your not the only one that happens to. Then search again a few hours later and ... voilà there it is :grin: From what I understand a Cameo would a piece that has the carving / image protruding; while an Intaglio creates an impression, or indent, in the mould. Ok, from the pictures I looked at, that does make sense. The Robert Schreuder Link should give some indication of the value. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
