A special, late Victorian, Art Nouveau watch fob featuring four lioness heads- presented in pairs at the top and bottom of the long fob- a sizable selection of chain that forms an extension from which the fob can swing. 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 with her lioness heads and original, art nouveau fob, will be a beloved addition to any collection.
