Victorian 18ct Gold Seal with Cockerel Intaglio

956N
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A smart and quite special 18ct gold seal that has been set with a banded sardonyx in the base. It has a carved intaglio of a cockerel. The white band of the sardonyx has been cut through to the black underneath so creating a good contrast. The top is a pleasing mix of plain and engraved decoration in a twist design. It was made circa 1840-1860. These seals look great when worn on a medium length chain or together with other pieces.

Ollys Pick

This seal is unusual and a perfect size
