A substantial Victorian triple-face spinner fob dating to c.1880, crafted in 9ct gold filled metal and set with three rotating agate faces. The standout side is a dark bloodstone intaglio engraved with the emblem of the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, giving the piece a strong military connection and a particularly distinctive focal point.
The three oval stone faces rotate independently within the central mount, allowing a different agate to be displayed as the fob moves. Surrounding them is an elaborate openwork frame with scrolling curves, engraved detail and bold sculptural shoulders, giving the piece impressive presence from every angle.
At 17.8 grams, this is a substantial example and is presented in excellent antique condition. The spinner mechanism remains functional, the stones sit securely within their settings and the engraved military intaglio remains clearly defined.
