Victorian 14 Karat Gold Fob Seal Pendant with Griffins

About the Item

A really intricate and beautifully crafted fob seal pendant from the Victorian period. The piece is crafted from 14 karat yellow gold however is unmarked. The hollow pendant is crafted as a pair of griffins which sit above an oval gold disc engraved with initials that read 'RWA', likely the monogram of the original owner. The ring to the top is formed by a pair of connected dolphins from which the griffin seal sits below. The fob is well worn, with some of the pattern in sections worn back. The dolphin ring to the top has worn through the gold slightly to one side, however these small losses are commensurate with age and do not detract from the beauty of this ornate piece.

  • Art Nouveau, 14 Karat Yellow Gold Lorgnette
    Located in Brisbane, QLD
    This Art Nouveau gold lorgnette likely originates from the United States during the first 20 years of the 20th Century. Crafted from 14 karat yellow gold the lorgnette is extremely simple in its design and is virtually void of ornamentation with the exception of some fine scrollwork around the lens casing. The lenses that are currently fitted are likely original, and whilst in-tact do have some abrasions to the surface of the glass. The piece is marked internally for 14 karat gold and also has a makers mark in the form of a Maltese cross inside a circle, which is currently unidentified. In good condition the piece only has some minor dents to the gold which are commensurate with age. Once a very frequently used object, this wondrous lorgnette would be a beautiful pendant on a long chain for someone wanting a piece of gold...
