Antique French Talisman, Huge Gold Watch Key

Remarks from Lawrence Jeffrey: "The Victorian's loved to festoon their watch chains and quickly went from practical fobs and watch keys to fanciful, figural, and outsized pieces like this one - their outrageous style becomes our bold, au courant fashion."
Condition: Excellent condition.
Weight: 14.5 gr
Stones: Carnelian
Hallmarks: Regional French assay mark for 18k
