Carving Shells and Cameos
Seller: Optimon Books, Gravesend, KENT, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. British sea shells, as well as tropical shells and exotic materials such a coral,mother of pearl, cameos, jet, and amber, form the totally unexplored raw material of the absorbing craft described in this book. Although Britain is a clearing house for almost every kind of shell, along the whole of our eastern coastline, British people have always been content to pay heavily for imported carvings in shell and other materials which are basically inexpensive and only become gems once they have left the craftsman's hands.
