Tiny Georgian Swan Intaglio Seal Fob Pendant

Tiny Georgian Swan Intaglio Seal Fob Pendant

$450.00

Description

DATE: Georgian, c.1820

The tiniest of Georgian seal fobs, dating from the early 19th century - circa 1820. The base is set with a single piece of rock crystal, intaglio carved with a swan, and set over yellow and pink coloured foil that makes it appear to change colour as it moves in front of the eye. The main body of the fob is crafted in 9 karat gold, and has been intricately engraved (all the more impressive given its diminutive size) with scrolls and foliate motifs, and with a feather fleur-de-lis just under the bail.
