Fobs & Seals

His tie was striped with shades of crimson; his tailored suit was handsome and charcoal. Her confidence was hardly ever startled. And yet, this man, whom she’d never met, asked her the time because his pocket watch stopped. And all she could do was giggle. He tucked his watch and fob in his pocket, still wondering the time. She pulled out her phone and showed him the clock, without saying an actual word. He thanked her, as a gentleman would, and handed her his business card, with his number on the back. And again, all she could do was giggle.

His guests were gathered around him in the library, listening to his addicting stories, tales full of wonder. He would tell of long dry African safaris and escaping lionesses. He would tell of riding energetic elephants in the rain in Thailand. She was small enough to hide behind the settee, so she could watch her father speak. She could survey the crowd as they gasped and ooh-ed and ahh-ed. When her father would leave on his long business trips, he would write to her. She would check the mail every morning, looking for the envelope with her name, closed with a giant wax seal made by a carnelian fob, with stories of adventures inside.

There must be a man in Europe who writes letters with a feather quill, who scribbles his words in loopy cursive letters, who when he pauses, places his finger to his chin to ponder. His spectacles are round and silver and magnify his blue eyes beneath the lenses. His hair is dark brown, like baking chocolate, and there are strands of gray on the edges of his face. He carefully places his parchment inside a corresponding envelope and when he closes it, he closes it with this seal and some crimson wax. 

This Dutch oval seal was handcrafted in silver around 1910. It features a crest and shield of a sea fish wearing a regal five point crown. This stately piece has been hallmarked with a cursive ‘I’, which is the Dutch mark for minimum silver fineness of 250. The maker’s mark looks to read, ‘FE’ in the diamond cartouche. This charming seal weighs 12.5 grams and measures 32 x 22 mm. 

Imagine clandestine meetings and secrets in letters all tied together with a seal. It could be this seal that helps guard your words and correspondents. It would also make a fantastic bauble on a silver chain or watch chain!

If you’ve spent any time wandering my lane, you might have noticed that I have a deep love of fobs. I especially love landscape scenes, cheeky phrases and beautiful armorial seals. This fascinating armorial carving was so exquisitely carved with a fabulous high degree of detail that I found it impossible to resist.

Since before the Bronze age people have been using seals to make an impression (usually in wax, on paper or in clay). This Georgian seal certainly makes an impression of it's own. 

The hand carved rich burnt orange colored Carnelian is carved with a Heraldic coat of arms showcasing a field of crows under a crow on a stump. Often referred to as a armorial seal, because it would likely have been used to signify the house, or name, of the user, this fantastic and large seal is set into an 18 karat gold mounting that is reposed with a floral motif. The seal measures 1 1/8 inches across and 1 1/4 inches high. It is in wonderful condition, especially considering that it was made in the Georgian era, sometime around 1820. It weighs 14.2 grams.

He was elected to the Royal society at the youthful age of 22. He was most well known for the comet that bears his name, but in truth he made great strides in archaeology, geophysics and math. Keep your eyes peeled, Halley’s comet will be back around again on July 28, 2061.

Okay, so I have to admit that I only just now realized that this fob is really quite gruesome! I was looking at it closely and trying to discover some tidbit of information about the heraldry of its carving and I realized that the sword was quite bumpy. Hmm… ‘a bumpy sword, that’s odd’, I thought and so I got out my good jewelers loupe and turned on the brightest light in the room and took a look. Oh my, those bumps are heads! I never did discover it’s meaning (if you know it, won’t you tell me?), but I admit to loving it just a little bit more for it’s outright message! Off with their heads! Yikes! 

This wonderful intaglio carved fob seal is kind of ridiculously fabulous. It has a gorgeous and heavy 18 karat gold case that is at once classic and contemporary, it has that velvety feel that only old gold can achieve (especially 18 karat old gold!). This fob is set with a highly polished, beautifully carved and bezel edged piece of carnelian in a bright orange/red hue. This piece would make a gorgeous pendant on a sturdy gold chain (20 inches or so would be perfect), it would also make a wonderful watch fob, it's original use, if you have a watch that needs one. The fob measures 35 mm from top to bottom and is 17 mm across, the carnelian itself measures 15 mm across, it weighs 12.6 grams. Made in England (perhaps? most likely) around 1850 or perhaps a bit earlier. 

Lost in history, bound in myth. That’s what I always think when come across very old things like this fantastic carved intaglio seal. If only it could talk, the tales that it would tell!

How cool is this? A fob that’s also a rotating seal with the days of the week engraved into each side. I had never seen such a thing and so of course I just had to have it. You know I can’t resist the truly rare and unusual (I don’t really try!). 

Beautifully hand crafted in 15 karat gold, this spinner fob has 8 sides, 7 of the the are the days of the week and the 8th says H. Campion, no doubt the name of the person that this fob was originally made for. Who was this H? Henry, Harold, Howard? Why did he need the days of the week on a fob? I guess we’ll never know, but it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the wit and whimsy of this wonderful spinner! The fob measures 29.2 mm long from the top of the bale and 18.4 mm across at the widest point, it’s 8.1 mm the short way and weighs 4.6 grams. This piece is unmarked but has been acid tested to verify the gold content. Made in England around 1890-1900.

A European gentleman commonly carried a series of fobs and seals during the late eighteenth and into the nineteenth centuries. They decorated waistcoats and held a practical use of sealing letters or signing signatures. Of course, men also used them simply for decoration and expression. They held a certain…savoir faire.

I really do adore these old fobs. I get to research crests and family surnames for hours, trying to figure out who it belongs to and why. The history buff in me can’t get enough!

The red carnelian features a lion’s head and the phrase, “FIRMO NODO” which means “In A Firm Knot”. This lion motif belongs to the Harington-Stuart family crest.

This piece measures 22 x 12 x 12 mm and weighs 3.1 grams.
