Georgian 18ct Gold Cased & Carnelian Seal with Intaglio God Save the King

№ 668L
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 18ct gold cased seal with banded hard stone,(carnelian) for the stem and the base. The base is engraved with a crown and a garter which says within “God save the King”. It is a Royalist seal in support of George III (r.1760–1820), the first Hanoverian king born in England. He was affectionately nicknamed ‘Farmer George’ because of his interest in agriculture. Many of his richer rural subjects were themselves busily and profitably improving farming methods. By contrast, smallholders and customary tenants were impoverished by the enclosure of land and the commercialisation of agriculture. The ornate repousse detail in the gold work is beautiful and features leaves, shells and flowers.

I have stated that it is gold cased as often these seals have a base metal band around the base and up the stem of the seal.

A rare seal.
