{"product_id":"antique-and-later-sterling-silver-gemstone-fob-collection-172g-cn1574","title":"Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Dog Head Carnelian Pendant | 1896","description":"A characterful Victorian seal fob dated precisely to 1896, crafted in sterling silver and modelled as a finely detailed dog’s head. The sculptural head is the focus of the piece, with defined eyes, muzzle, ears and individually engraved fur giving the animal a remarkably lifelike expression.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe dog emerges from a silver collar and flared seal mount, finished with scrolling foliate decoration around the base. Set beneath is a circular carnelian intaglio stone measuring approximately 16mm across, its warm red-orange tone providing a strong contrast against the silver. The combination of sculptural animal modelling and a functional seal makes this a particularly appealing Victorian fob.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPresented in very good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age. The carnelian remains securely set and with a suspension loop.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEra:\u003cbr\u003e\nVictorian, 1896\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nBirmingham assay office, sterling silver with date letter 'w' for the year 1896.
