Description

A very handsome and finely modelled antique fob; beautifully crafted in the round as St. George in full armour on horseback, slaying the dragon with his lance. The scene sits atop a geometric intaglio seal base bearing the monogram ‘CV’ or ‘VC’.

Although a popular image in painting during the Victorian era, finding him depicted in jewellery is harder, especially as nicely modelled as this one. He would likely have adorned a gentleman’s fob chain to accessorize a pocket watch; but today he’s equally wearable in his own right as a statement pendant. The perfect talisman to help protect you in these uncertain times!

ERA: Antique Victorian c.1890s

ORIGIN: Continental European

MATERIAL: 900 grade silver (stamped at front of base and tested)
