This lantern fob is finely modelled in silver with open panels and burner detail, and is set with a deep red garnet cabochon, recalling the warm glow of an oil lamp. This has a pocket watch winder on the bottom and would have been worn on a watch chain.
Lanterns in Victorian jewellery carried strong symbolic meaning, representing guidance, protection, vigilance, and light carried through darkness. Worn close to the body, they were not merely ornamental but worn as talismans of guidance and protection.
Lantern (with bail): 2.7 × 1.3 cm
This comes on a 50cm Recycled Sterling Silver Chain.
