Details

There is something wonderfully personal about an antique wax seal. This early 19th-century Georgian fob features a luminous white agate intaglio set into a gold-filled mount with elegant shell and scroll detailing. The face is engraved with a Greek key border and two initials, details that once would have been pressed into sealing wax on letters and documents. I love finding objects like this, where the original purpose is still so evident.

The white agate has a beautiful clarity against the warm gold, and the little initials make this feel especially personal. I paired the antique fob with a long sterling silver chain, allowing the seal itself to remain the focus. This necklace was created by Karen Lindner, whose jewelry is known for reimagining extraordinary antique objects as one-of-a-kind jewelry. Karen is no longer creating jewelry, making her work increasingly special to collectors.

Collector’s Notes.

Georgian wax seal fobs were personal objects used to create an identifying impression in sealing wax on letters and documents.

White agate was particularly prized for its ability to take a crisp intaglio carving, and the Greek key border on this example reflects the neoclassical taste of the period. Its initials give us one small glimpse of the person who may have once owned it.
