A wonderful piece of Victorian craftsmanship, this beautifully ornate 9k yellow gold seal fob is a charming reminder of an age when even the smallest accessories were made with extraordinary attention to detail.
Dating to the 19th century, this substantial fob features an elaborate, urn-shaped design adorned with intricate scrolling foliage, finely fluted decoration and delicate beaded detailing.
The base is set with a rich, deep reddish-brown stone, believed to be carnelian, engraved with an elegant intertwined monogram. Originally used to impress a personal seal into hot wax, these fascinating accessories were both practical possessions and expressions of their owner’s individuality.
Weighing an impressive 10.37 grams, the fob has a lovely sense of substance and retains the character and charm that make antique jewellery so special.
