Gold & Citrine Intaglio Seal Depicting Socrates | English c.1830s
An elegant early Victorian citrine seal, finely engraved with the classical profile of the Greek philosopher Socrates, set within a sculptural 9ct gold mount. Likely made in c.1830s, the warm golden hue of the citrine complements the softly patinated gold.
The carving itself is sharply defined, showing delicate hair and beard detail, and framed within a fluted gold base and engraved handle.
