Description

Fine golden mesh forms a ribbon beneath an ornate heart, its pierced scrollwork surrounding a Gothic initial that appears to be E. A small seal-style drop hangs below, adding movement and dimension to this antique watch fob.

Dating to approximately 1890–1910, the gold filled accessory retains its decorative vest clip and short curb-link watch chain with dog clip. The woven surface catches the light against the sculpted fittings, with visible gold-surface wear along the mesh edges reflecting its years of use.
