18 Karat French Hunting Fob, circa 1890

About the Item

We love this 18K exceptional hunting fob with a working hinged locket and a jasper and agate base. " Punto di Caccia" in Italian is engraved on one lozenge, translating to "hunting spot", referring to a cottage or house. Rendez Vous de chasse means “reserved for the hunt". The hunting dog stands faithfully to one side along with the horn, and rifle & hunting pouch, also known as a bullet pouch, with hip flask on other side. All the essentials needed for a fruitful hunting expedition are at the ready. The fob has a very small French eagle's head on the round ring structure that sits beneath the "Rendez Vous de Chasse" lozenge. The hinged container opens and securely holds any number of things- snuff, pills, etc., and is approximately 1/8 inch deep on the inside. The fob is in perfect condition.

    An impressive early Edwardian 18ct yellow gold citrine set fob seal dating from 1902. The original owner made the decision to keep the base blank which means the new owner still has the possibility to have a monogram or crest engraved. A nice detail is the hallmarks to this fob which date the fob from 1902 and the assay office of Chester, in North of England.   The design itself has a round hood at the top ideal for suspending from a chain or necklace. From there the applied wreath design and splayed, openwork panels meet the base which is ornately decorated in deeply chased foliate patterns. A wonderful antique fob seal...
