Each with corresponding conservation treatment reports from Rocky Mountain Textile Conservation. Both male cameos and most areas on the female cameos appear to be hand-painted, though the sky backgrounds of the female examples appear to have a blue dotted pattern. All are behind a layer of Crepeline which covers the entire images and embroidery, making closer examination difficult. Additional detail images available upon request.Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction.
