Description: | Incomplete silver and glass fob seal of Georgian to early Victorian date c. 1750-c.1850. The seal is a round-cornered rectangular intaglio of orange glass depicting a winged cupid or generic cherub holding a torch aloft, with two grooves forming the ground benath his feet and two hearts o the groun in front of his feet. There is a French legend around, 'Il Cherche un' , literally translated as 'he finds one'. This intaglio is set into a silver frame with a domed upper casing, decorated with incised lines tapering up the dome towards the incomplete openwork handle which protrudes upwards from the centre of this dome.
