Product Details

An exquisite antique Georgian fob pendant dating to the early 19th Century. It contains a deep orange carnelian seal at the base engraved with a Coat of Arms with depictions of flowers and coiled snakes, including one wrapping around a staff at the top. 

Snakes are a common emblem on a Coat of Arms and a symbol of wisdom or renewal. The depiction of a snake wrapping around a staff is known as the “Rod of Asclepius” referring to the Greek God of healing and medicine. The symbol is still seen today and represents good health and long life and is quite commonly used by those in the medical profession.

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 piece is all 18ct gold with open, curved bars that stretch from the base up to the loop at the top. It’s a wonderful collector’s piece that has remained in pristine condition over the centuries.
