A substantial 19th-century gold-cased fob seal, with an ornate rectangular mount richly decorated with scrolling foliage and a large arched handle terminating in an intricately worked spherical suspension fitting.
The warm reddish-brown carnelian is engraved with an armoured arm grasping an arrow, rising above an elaborate interlaced monogram ‘RD’ enclosed within a circular cartouche. The heraldic-style engraving suggests a personal or familial significance, although its original owner remains unknown.
An unusually large and sculptural example of a Victorian fob seal, with particularly fine decorative metalwork.
Date: 19th century
Materials: Gold-cased metal and engraved carnelian
Condition: Good antique condition, with age-related surface wear and patina. Please refer to the photographs as they form part of the description.
