Victorian Moire Silk Watch Fob Ribbon
RARE!!
Victorian Moire Silk Watch Fob Ribbon – circa 1875 – An extraordinary find! Exquisite solid 9K Yellow Gold historical Victorian Watch Fob Ribbon in watermarked black Moire silk, with all its glorious original detailing! The gold Dog clip clasp would have held the pocket watch- an ornate top bar, truly divine buckle with double prongs, an ornate bottom bar- from this hangs
suspended a large & heavy gold ornate circular slider clasp, the Fob Seal with Bloodstone a matching delight. So rare to find all attachments in such wonderful condition! Full Hallmarks & stamped 9K accordingly with Makers mark “M&M”. **** We have set this Gentleman’s Fob on another historical find- it rests upon the original notebook of Thomas Bain – esteemed South African Road Engineer, born in Graaf Reinet in 1830- his accomplishments including opening up the vast Hinterland of Southern Africa to more than 900 km’s of roads and Passes…
