Antique gold and carnelian chain seal, England 1870.

England last part of 19th century.

Antique 18 Kt. gold and carnelian chain seal. The matrix is never engraved carnelian, oval in shape with beveled edges. The back of the carnelian appears convex. A flat gold band embraces the carnelian edge rising like a band geometrically decorated with vertical lines. Another smooth band and then the large wide bridge at the start which then narrows towards the top, where a ring is welded to the counter ring. The whole reflects identically the decorative motifs of the base band. England 1870.
