An antique Georgian sterling silver pendant seal, hallmarked for the Birmingham Assay Office in the year 1798. The full set of crisp hallmarks includes the lion passant for sterling silver, the duty head of King George, and the date letter “a”. Over 225 years old, this seal survives in beautiful condition, carrying with it the refinement of late 18th-century craftsmanship. A remarkable piece of Georgian jewellery history, it is as much a symbol of status and sentiment then as it is a treasured heirloom today.
