A special, late Victorian watch fob marrying two of the most significant movements of the 19th century (renaissance revival, and aestheticism) in a highly stylized tour-de-force of Art Nouveau imagery. Featuring inverted irises with bat-like wings that arch around the central blooms, leading the eye to two winged gryphons at the bottom fob. Reminiscent of the aesthetic captured in Penny Dreadful, there is a flair for the gothic in this fob. This extension was meant to allow the fob to hang decoratively from the top of a button affixed to a waistcoat, and serve a display function, as well as a use case, where the fob could be used to seal important documents. This gorgeous example will be a beloved addition to any collection.
