A little History on Incolay Studios on "The Romantic Poets Collection": No movement has ever had so great and long lasting an effect on literature of the Western world as the romanticism that swept through England and Europe in the early nineteenth century. Its impact on the arts is second only to the Classical period of the early Greece and Rome. The Romantic poets brought to poetry a new dimension. Their poems were written not to inform the reader but to share a personal vision of the world, to make the reader feel more vividly the joys and sorrows of life. They brought to the world a "Golden Age" of poetry that has never been equaled. The Romantic Poets Collection from Incolay Studios of California is the first series of limited-edition collector's plates inspired by the works of these poets. In the eighteen years since Incolay Studios of California discovered a way to translate the ancient art of cameo carving into a new medium, the Studios authority in the field of cameo art has been widely acknowledged. Incolay Studios has accumulate an extensive museum collection of cameo chalk impressions (many from classical sources) - one of the largest collections of authentic cameo carvings in the United States. The objects d'art hand-crafted by the Studio in Incolay Stone are regularly inspected by the Gemological Institute of America, closely linking the Studio's considerable prestige to the authenticity, as well as the aesthetic quality, of the limited-edition pieces produced. As a seller I do my best to represent the product I am selling. I take numerous pictures and make them as clear as possible. To write a great description with accurate information, I research the item the best I can. With that in mind please remember that these items are vintage or antique which means they are 20 to 100+ years old. They have been around a long time and usually not sitting in a cupboard untouched. Do expect some wear and tear. If you want something brand new right out of a mold then you will need to shop elsewhere. I package very well. Insurance included in shipping.
