(SOLD) Antique Belle Époque French Gold Watch Fob Pendant
Rich, Sculptural.
Crafted on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries, between the old and new, this articulated watch fob pendant revives motifs from the courtly age of Louis XVI — with swagged garlands, a torch, and roses.
Masterfully crafted, with dimensional, sculpted gold details, this pendant is equally as beautiful on the back as the front. The gold is a glorious rich yellow, with original patina — so smooth, tactile, and wonderfully dense in hand.
This fob pendant is so versatile. Wear as a pendant (we love it on a simple, paper clip type link, similar to the short chain on the pendant); use it to shorten a long sautoir (as shown); add it to extend a chain; display it as a decorative station to any chain. Experiment!
French sautoir shown is not included.
Marked with French eagle’s head.
18k gold.
Dimensions and weight:
● 10.8 cm long
● 24 mm wide
● 16.4 grams
Period: Victorian/Edwardian
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present.
*For deliveries outside the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
