This exquisite Georgian pocket watch key is a stunning example of the skilled craftsmanship and artistry of the era. Crafted in 18-carat gold, the key is shaped like a heart - a unique find - with a beautifully detailed bunch of grapes and lush vine leaves. The bicolour design features warm yellow gold leaves and a slightly richer gold tone for the grapes, creating a striking visual contrast.
The key's bail swivels, allowing it to be easily attached to chains or charm holders to be worn as a pendant. The intricate three-dimensional detailing is consistent on all sides, showcasing the remarkable skill of the goldsmith. While no hallmarks are present, XRF testing confirms the 18-carat gold composition.
This exceptional antique piece is in excellent condition, preserving the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of the Georgian period. It would make a truly remarkable addition to any collection of fine jewellery and pocket watch accessories.
