Cameo manufacturing, the real Torrese cameo
The cameo is handcrafted, and each piece or reproduction can never be the same as another both in terms of shape and reproduction.
The first phase of processing consists in the choice of the shell suitable for engraving, then we move on to the cut of the most convex part of the shell "Scoppatura", then we proceed to the signature and the shaping of the cut piece.
Inside of the cup the contours of the cameos to be obtained are traced and the superfluous parts are eliminated
a special wheel.
At this point the pieces obtained are fixed on a wooden spindle with hot mastic composed of Greek pitch, wax and scagliola. After this operation, peeling is carried out, i.e. the abrasion of the outermost part of the shell in order to leave the clear layer to be engraved on the surface. The work then passes to the engraver, who draws the subject to be reproduced on the surface.
With the engraving we have the possibility to reproduce personalized pieces both for faces, landscapes, flowers, initials of names, particular names based also on what you want to reproduce.
I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT EACH PIECE IS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT IS AUTHENTIC AND UNIQUE IN ITS KIND, AND FOR HOW MUCH YOU WANT COPYING ONLY FOR ITS CRAFTSMANSHIP AND UNIQUENESS WILL ALWAYS BE DIFFERENT FROM ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT YOU WANT TO COPY. THEREFORE IT COULD BE DIFFERENT IN SHAPE, SIZE AND REPRODUCTION FROM THE PREVIOUS IF NOT EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL, AS THE ARTISAN ALWAYS CONSIDERS SURPRISING HIS CUSTOMERS WITH HIS ARTISTIC SLANCES.
