A striking antique Victorian 9ct yellow gold pendant dating to c.1860, beautifully detailed throughout and set with an impressive carnelian intaglio at the base. The intaglio is finely carved with the upper body of a goat, executed with excellent depth and clarity, showing real skill and craftsmanship typical of the mid-Victorian period.
The gold body is richly detailed, giving the pendant strong presence and a wonderful sense of quality. Presented in fabulous condition, this piece has a satisfying weight and remains crisp in all its detail. Originally intended as a personal seal or symbolic pendant, it now stands as a highly collectible example of Victorian intaglio jewellery, equally suited to wear or display.
