Antique Georgian Carnelian Fob Pendant 18ct Gold Cased
Regular price $1,953.00Product Details
An exquisite antique Georgian fob pendant inlaid with a dark-orange carnelian seal that has yet to be engraved. The 18ct gold cased base has beautiful floral patterning engraved across the top and up two fabulous arches that form the loop.
Fob pendants were a fashionable accessory in the 19th Century, often worn on a chain alongside a pocket watch. The seal, which was sometimes engraved with an identifiable image or monogram could also be used to stamp sealing wax on important letters or documents, making them practical as well as stylish.
The fob dates to the early 19th Century and has remained in excellent condition. It’s highly collectable and would look wonderful on the end of a gold chain.
