The crisp animal engraving gives the seal a wonderfully distinctive character, while the softly translucent stone provides a subtle contrast against the warm gold mount.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe body of the seal is particularly decorative, with deeply modelled scrolling foliate detail and a sculptural terminal above the stone. Despite measuring only 20mm high, the mount has a substantial quality and feels considerably more elaborate than a simple plain seal.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPresented in very good antique condition with age-related wear and patina consistent with its age. The chalcedony remains securely set and the engraved hound remains clearly defined.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEra:\u003cbr\u003e\nVictorian, c.1880\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nUnmarked, tests as 9ct gold cased.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 20mm\u003cbr\u003e\nBase: 12mm x 10mm\u003cbr\u003e\nEyelet: 3mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight:\u003cbr\u003e\n3.5 grams","brand":"thenorthc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57451682922876,"sku":"CN1568","price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3423\/1615\/files\/cn1568-photo-1428-1280eeacd379.jpg?v=1789489878","url":"https:\/\/thenorthc.co.uk\/products\/antique-victorian-9ct-gold-cased-chalcedony-hound-intaglio-fob-seal-c1880-cn1568","provider":"TheNorthC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
