Description
Victorian Gentleman's 10ct rose rolled gold (stamped and professionally tested) large and highly impressive French Antique photograph fob.
C ~ Dated 1881.
(Please excuse all the reflections/dark shadows in the pictures - was extremely difficult to photograph).
Similar to the fobs I have supplied to Pinewood Studios.
Measures; 5cm height (including the top ring), 3.5cm width, 7mm depth and weighs a very respectable 12.9 grams.
Wonderful oval shaped chunky fob with an attractive chamfered circumference (same to both sides).
Stamped to the top on one side in arched script; ROLLED GOLD and stamped to the opposite side; FIX EE 81 (Fix was a French jewellery quality standard to indicate the superior quality of the rolled gold) and 81 is the date it was made - 1881.
To centre are two oval shaped compartments (one is lined with bottle green baize) to display photographs of loved ones - I will include the original Victorian sepia photographs of two Gentleman who were shown within - one of which is wearing Military uniform and the younger man in a white starched shirt.
Still retains the two original thick bevel edges glasses (not acrylic).
The wide internal retaining ring is clearly stamped; PATENT (the Victorian's loved their patents), METAL GILT.
Secure rolled gold top ring to attach to a Gentleman's pocket watch chain.
Excellent clean and bright condition with just some very light overall wear/patina and little surface scratches commensurate with age.
Will arrive in a new velvet presentation pouch and be very securely and safely packed.
