Item Details
Description
The large swivel features a carnelian plaque on one side that reverses to an amazing crystal-enclosed compartment. Inside the compartment is a three-dimensional fruit basket worked in yellow, white, rose, green and blue gold. The rock crystal cover is slightly domed to magnify the fruit basket decoration. The edges of the swivel are engraved “S Kip†on one edge and “S Kip Poe†on the other, suggesting it was perhaps a gift from a grandfather to a grandson of maternal descent. Women began wearing pocket watches in the 1780s, so it's also possible this fob was a gift from mother to married daughter. Origin: England, ca. 1790 Condition: very good, evidence of 19th century repairs that do not detract from the beauty Dimensions: 1-1/2†x 2-1/16†(excluding jump ring) Weight: 29.6 grams
