18k Gold & Chalcedony Victorian Fob Seal with Coat of Arms

$ 1,295.00

There are so very many things to love about this Fob Seal.

Crafted of 18k yellow gold, everything is perfectly in balance, from the beautifully decorative ring on which to attach it to a chain to the subtly embellished bars that make up the body of the piece. The seal itself is set into a grooved bezel of gold which is connected to the bars by decorative balls. It is beautiful and decorative from all angles, but my favorite part of this piece is the seal itself. Engraved with a bow-topped shield, the family crest is engraved within this larger shield, it is a standing lion holding a shield on which are engraved 3 birds and 3 stars.

18th Century Armorial Seal with a Griffin in Agate and 18k yellow Gold

$ 2,195.00

A fabulous example of an 18th-century Armorial seal. The seal itself is double sided carved in agate, a spinner that spins freely in the frame, carved on one side is a griffin from the neck up, and on the other a Family Coat of Arms. The Griffin is holding a papal cross in its mouth which indicates the owner of this seal was a Catholic, it also has a Crown around its neck which shows the owner was a Royalist. The other side has a shield topped by this same Griffin, the shield is separated into 3 parts, 2 birds at the top and a Fleur de Lis at the bottom. A wonderful piece of History, this piece is likely French. This Fob is attached to what is likely the original watch pull. A watch pull is a flattish chain which traditionally would have a decorative or seal fob at one end and a hook at the other. The watch was attached to the hook and the watch was inserted into the waistcoat pocket while the flat chain with the fob on the end hung down the outside. The pull performed 2 functions it was decorative and served the practical purpose of making it easy for the wearer to pull the watch from his pocket to check the time. 

Measurements: 6.5" overall from one end to the other. The agate seal only, .93" x 1.06", including the frame 1.71" long.

Era: Mid 18th century, close to 1750. The little watch hook itself is likely a 19th-century replacement, as an 18th-century watch would have required a much larger hook.

Materials: Agate, 18k yellow gold. 

Condition: Excellent for its considerable age. The agate has no chips or damage and the gold simply shows the wear you would expect to see with its age but no damage.
