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.
