A shell cameo brooch by Lamant, second half of 19th century, the oval cameo carved with a Medieval battle scene possibly depicting King Richard the Lionheart on horseback, crowned, and wielding a battle axe against an attacking foot soldier below, a castle visible in the distance, the reverse scratch signed ‘Lamant’, within a gold mount, with applied engraved scrolling foliate decoration to the cardinal points, length 8cm. £800-£1,200 --- According to an PMI test on the XRF analyzer, the gold mount is testing as 12ct gold. The signature Lamant refers to a family of French shell cameo engravers active during the 19th century: Victor Amand Juiliot (called Lamant), the father and original master engraver, and his son Louis-Lamand Juiliot, who continued the tradition. The family was based in France before moving to London later in their careers. They were known for specialising in complex, multi-figure narrative scenes, rather than traditional classical subject matter. Condition Report Very faint internal stress line to top right, but otherwise very good condition.
