GEORGIAN FOB PENDENT WITH THE LOVE STORY ‘HUSH’

Georgian period 

A beautifully ornate, heavily chased Georgian fob made of 15ct gold.

The fob is set with a carnelian intaglio carved to tell a love story entitled ‘HUSH’;

The allegory depicts Love(Cupid) quietly creeping up on you! He carries a torch and lantern to light the darkness.

Such a beautiful sentiment.

The gold work is heavily chased to create a bed of large leaves above a layer of foliage flowers. 

The condition is generally excellent, there is a small hole in the gold from wear, however this does not take away from the beauty of the piece, and is hard to see with the naked eye - see the final picture

The size is perfect to hang from a fine to medium chain!
