DESCRIPTION

Boats symbolise journeys and adventure; anchors represent security, safety and hope.

Gold-plated brass. A vintage Wedgwood cameo or intaglio depicting a nautical motif, mounted in a swivel fob that turns on Ferian’s signature pins. The reverse bears the Ferian flags, representing England in naval flag signals, and can be worn facing out.

The nautical designs include anchors and sailing vessels. Golden Hind motifs recall the galleon captained by Francis Drake between 1577 and 1580.

Swivel fobs became fashionable in the 19th century as watch-chain ornaments, often engraved with a motto or crest and used to impress a wax seal.

A miniature piece of British ceramic history, reframed for the modern collector.

LONDON CRAFT

Our vintage Wedgwood cameos and intaglios have been gathered one by one over many years and date from the 1950s–1980s. The hand-worked, kiln-fired ceramic gives each piece its own character. Each mount is individually adjusted to fit its cameo.

The fob is made using the traditional lost-wax casting process, then hand-polished, set and assembled in London by a single master craftsperson to the same exacting standards as precious metals.

The solid brass fob is plated with 3 microns of 18 carat gold and finished with a 12-carat gold-filled curb chain.

Please allow 3–6 weeks from order to delivery.
