(SOLD) Antique French 18th Century Double Portrait Miniature Gold Watch Key

$0.00
Sold

One of One.

For the collector of watch keys, lovers of portrait miniatures and French history.

This is a unique watch key — topped with double sided portrait miniatures of two French Revolutionary era women.

We see a signature that appears to be “Thiboust” and a date that appears to be “ans 7,” referring to Year 7 of the Revolutionary calendar (i.e., 1795). There is writing on both portraits, but only somewhat legible on one of them.

Striking worn on any period chain or a neck ribbon. Or hang this to display with any collection of portrait miniatures.

Marked with French St. Jacques shell.

Gold tests between 15k and just under 18k.

Dimensions and weight:

● 65.5 mm long (including loop and key shank)

● 33 mm wide

● 6.3 mm deep

● 17.1 grams

Period: Georgian, circa 1795

*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present.

*US shipping only on this piece.
