Antique Sentimental Sunrise Intaglio Fob; Circa 1850

A beautifully antique Victorian fob, delicate in scale yet rich in meaning.

This charming piece ends in a hand carved intaglio, expertly worked into pale glass. The scene depicts a rising sun emerging between two mountains, a serene and evocative image that would have held deep sentimental meaning during the Victorian era. The carving is finely executed, with gentle translucence allowing the light to enhance the softness and depth of the design.

In Victorian symbolism, a sunrise represented hope, renewal, and new beginnings, while mountains were associated with strength and life’s enduring challenges. Together, this imagery conveyed optimism after hardship, the promise of a new chapter. Sentiments often cherished in personal jewellery of the period.

The petite proportions make this fob especially wearable and versatile, whether displayed on a watch chain or worn as a pendant. With its poetic symbolism and understated beauty, this Victorian fob is a deeply personal and evocative piece.
