This antique fob is such a beautiful piece of jewellery, likely originally made to wear on a watch chain, we think it makes a stunning pendant when worn today on a necklace chain.
The bottom of the fob has a plain rectangular base that could be engraved with initials, a name, phrase or special date. It was likely originally designed to have a family crest engraved to the bottom which could be used to stamp wax seals for envelopes. The rest of the fob is made up of a beautifully detailed three dimensional owl. the fob is made of sterling silver, unhallmarked but tested. Without hallmarks it's hard to date the fob exactly but we think it's likely early 20th Century in age.
The fob measures approx 23mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 13mm wide by approx 12.1mm deep (not including the jump ring) and weighs approx 6.5g in total.
Condition - The fob is in good antique condition but does show some light signs of age and wear to silver. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos.
*Please note the box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the fob will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
