This is a very beautiful and unusual little pocket watch fob that also functions as a brooch.
The delicate pierced openwork is the star of the show, with a wonderfully lacy design that gives the piece a surprisingly light and airy look. It's beautifully made and has the kind of intricate detail that makes you want to turn it over and look at it from every angle.
Based on the design, we believe this dates to the late Victorian to early Art Nouveau period. The fob clip on the back appears to have some stamped letters, although the mark is very difficult to make out.
Measuring approximately 1.25 inches, it's a small piece with a lot of personality. Wear it as a brooch, use it as a pocket watch fob, or add it to a jewelry project. We love finding antique pieces that aren't quite sure what they want to be when they grow up.
A beautifully delicate little bit of Victorian/Art Nouveau jewelry history.
