Tiny Antique Victorian Wire Baby Bracelet - Seashells - Heart Charm - C1900



This is a very tiny antique Victorian wire baby bracelet. There are eight little seashells that hang from the bracelet. At the catch there is a tiny heart charm that dangles from a chain. There are initials engraved on the heart, but I cannot make them out. The chain is attached at each side of the clasp. It has a simple hook clasp. The wire is gold tone. I have not tested the metal. The bracelet dates to around 1900. 


Measurements:
Circumference: Approximately 4.5"
The inside of the bracelet from side to side is approximately 1.75" 


Condition:
---Overall good condition. Some scratches on the surface of the heart charm.

Antique Georgian Wax Seal Fob - Pendant - Charm - 1820s



A beautiful antique Georgian wax seal fob or pendant. Early 19th century. It 
has a beautiful ornate hand chased floral design. Flowers and leaves. I have 
not tested the metal. So selling as gold tone. The glass wax seal shows a lot of wear. 
A lot of chips around the edges of the glass as well as scratches. For the life of me 
I cannot make out what the seal depicts. I see it being everything from a flower 
basket, a man on a horse...to a cannon. It also has some traces of red paint 
behind the seal. Most of the paint is gone. This piece dates to around 
1800 to the 1820s. 

Measurements:
Height:  1 1/8" 
Widest Point:  3/4" x 5/8"

Condition:
---The glass wax seal shows a lot of wear. Chips around the edges 
of the glass as well as scratches.
---Traces of red paint behind the glass seal.
---Some discoloration on the metal.
