Antique Georg IV Stickpin Seal Amethyst Intaglio Swallow Gold Love Messenger

About the Item

Rare stickpin with a gold hand in a lace cuff. The hand is clenched to a fist and it is holding a hinged element reminiscent of a door knocker in the shape of an ornate stirrup. A gold seal with an amethyst intaglio is suspended fom this 'stirrup'. The hand is attached to a stick pin. The intaglio's engraving shows a swallow with a letter in it's mouth and the french motto 'reponse' (answer, response). The swallow symbolizes renewal, rejuvenation, hope, movement, spring. Swallows are messengers of love and stand for domestic happiness.
