THIS IS EVERYTHING!!!! Antique Victorian 9ct Rose Gold Fob Seal Pendant – A Masterpiece of 19th-Century Craftsmanship.

This large-sized Victorian 9ct rose gold fob seal pendant is a stunning relic of the mid-to-late 19th century, embodying both artistic mastery and functional elegance.

These seal fobs were an essential part of a well-dressed gentleman’s or lady’s ensemble, serving both as a status symbol and a practical tool for sealing letters and documents.

This particular example, with its large cushion-cut rock crystal quartz, elaborate goldwork, and ornate Victorian motifs, suggests it belonged to someone of considerable affluence.

Crafted in solid 9ct rose gold, this fob has a rich, warm hue that was particularly fashionable during the mid-Victorian period (circa 1860–1880).

The gold frame is exceptionally ornate, featuring exquisite floral, foliate, and scrollwork patterns that exemplify the influence of Rococo and High Victorian design.

The upper section is beautifully arched with scrolling motifs, terminating in a domed, polished gold finial.
The bail is robust, allowing the pendant to be securely attached to a watch chain, chatelaine, or necklace.
The rectangular cushion-cut rock crystal quartz at the base is an impressively large specimen, indicating the fob’s high status.

During the Georgian and Victorian eras (late 18th to 19th century), personal wax seals were used to authenticate documents and letters. They were the equivalent of a modern signature or family crest, ensuring the confidentiality and legitimacy of a message.

Similar large gold fob seals with high-quality craftsmanship are selling for $1000–$1200 (R18,000–R22,000).
