Rare antique Georgian glass intaglio seal fob, Pinchbeck, Heraldic
An incredible and rare antique Georgian era seal fob.
Late 18th century, this magical seal fob is made up of a carved clear glass intaglio with a fluted shape, the base carved with an elaborate design.
It features a number of people including a child gathering around a shrine with a north star above a heraldic shield.
I'm unsure whom the crest belonged to but it is very beautifully carved and was highly likely to have belonged to a nobleman or notable family.
The top is made from Pinchbeck and has a textured finish with an additional later spring ring attached.
A fine Georgian piece for any collector.
