About the Item

The Complete Content Cameos by Martin Henig and Helen Molesworth. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. Published by Brepols Publishers, Belgium, 2018. This is a catalog of the largest collection of ancient cameos in private hands and represents forty years of collecting these historical documents in hardstone. While part of the collection was on public display at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (1990-2000), the whole collection has never been shown. Several recent publications have made it possible to draw more precise conclusions based on a larger sample of cameos available for comparative study. This increased number of published cameos has allowed studies of the popularity of particular subjects at certain periods, of the development of styles and techniques, and of the relative popularity of some gem materials over time. The development of digital photography has enabled gem photographers to show never seen before detail, allowing much closer study of tool marks and even individual artists' hands. Trent Antiques has been a respected name in antiques for over 35 years with a large collection of period furniture, art, books, jewelry and decorative accessories.
