A charming early Victorian intaglio fob, elegant in its simplicity and rich with personal sentiment.
Crafted in warm 9 carat gold, the piece features a refined and understated mount whose clean lines allow the intaglio to take full prominence. Suspended below is a beautifully carved rectangular carnelian seal, its glowing amber red tones catching the light with a soft warmth so characteristic of this beloved gemstone.
Finely engraved into the polished surface is the name “Anne”, transforming the piece from a decorative object into a deeply personal token. Such named seals were often worn on watch chains or chatelaines, serving both as practical seals and as intimate expressions of identity and affection.
Graceful and evocative, this early Victorian fob is a beautiful survivor of a time when jewellery carried both purpose and sentiment. Whether worn as a pendant, added to a chain, or treasured as part of a collection, it remains a timeless and touching piece of history.
