Purchasing information-
Overall fair to good condition, both would benefit from a clean. The larger brooch has just some light surface scratches to the frame, the pin wobbles slightly on its hinge, clasp in good working order. There is a full length hairline crack to the central back of the cameo, this is partly just surface reaching, there are also two shorter hairline cracks parallel to this that aren't surface reaching. The smaller cameo has loss of intricate detail to the carving, the outer frame has small holes drilled to the top, bottom and both sides, parts of the frame are bent backwards. There is no pin or clasp to this cameo.
