The pale chalcedony gives the heraldic engraving excellent clarity, with the shield, surrounding ornament and individual devices remaining crisply defined.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gold mount is particularly striking, with two fox heads worked into the sides of the body beneath the suspension. Their sculptural form, combined with the scrolling goldwork around the mount, gives the seal a strong three-dimensional presence from every angle.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 20 grams, this is a substantial example with a solid feel in the hand. Presented in lovely antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age, and the intaglio remains sharp enough to produce a clear wax impression.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEra:\u003cbr\u003e\nVictorian, c.1860\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nUnmarked, tests as 15ct gold.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 28mm\u003cbr\u003e\nSeal base: 25mm x 28mm\u003cbr\u003e\nTop eyelet: 4mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight:\u003cbr\u003e\n20 grams","brand":"thenorthc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58075365245308,"sku":"CN1609","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3423\/1615\/files\/cn1609-photo-2576-e2d652d85a16.jpg?v=1793211631","url":"https:\/\/thenorthc.co.uk\/products\/antique-victorian-15ct-gold-chalcedony-heraldic-intaglio-seal-c1860-20g-cn1609","provider":"TheNorthC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
