SW15 Collectables

Description

Recently Stolen from an Antiques Centre in Surrey. If you are offered this piece or know of its whereabouts please contact SW15 Collectables on 07833528669.

An attractive pendant and a conversation-piece in a piece of 200-year-old jewellery.

A late 18th / early 19th Century pendant / fob seal. The elaborately decorated and shaped mount is in unmarked gold. The oval, deep amber-coloured matrix is cut with the profile of an ancient. Oval 15x12. It has a good-an oval bale with a 5mm opening which will take most chains.

Excellent condition. I will always mention anything that materially affects the aesthetic or function of a piece, but will not attempt to describe what I consider to be normal for age and use. Please use the photographs as well as you can and I’m always happy to answer specific questions. There is a small dark band where the handle joins the oval mount, visible under loupe, suggesting the use of lead in the making, which was not uncommon in the period.

I trade in small silver, jewellery and objets d'art. I sell primarily at antiques fairs and in cabinets in Christique Antique Centre in Dorking. I try to find unusual and interesting stock and like to keep turning it over, so I can buy more. Postage and packing are free within the UK - unless explicitly stated otherwise. All fine jewellery will be supplied with a box. If the box/case is described in the text, it will be the one photographed, but may not be if it is not mentioned explicitly. I keep hardly any stock at home, if you want to buy something and need it urgently, I will usually do it the next day, but it may take me some time to respond if you need extra photographs and/or details about the piece that I do not have to hand, as I typically visit the antiques centre just once a week. If you don't see what you're looking for - feel free to send an enquiry via the site. I have only been able to list a portion of my stock.
