Large Georgian 18ct Gold Cased Seal with Carnelian Intaglio Of a Crest on Original Split Ring

745P
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A fabulous large late Georgian seal that was made circa 1820. It is typical of the period with a very crisp rose and leaf motif repoussee design. A carnelian, which is a type of hard stone, has been set in to the base. It has a carved intaglio of a lion rampant within a shield and a man’s head above. The motto reads “A Vono Duw Dervid”. This could be a Celtic motto. There is a large split ring that is original to the seal. This means that you can hang other pieces on to the split ring if you wish.

This is a great seal!
