Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Victorian fob watch is a small portable timepiece manufactured during the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901), designed to be attached to a chain, ribbon, or fob and worn on clothing or suspended as a pendant.

Victorian fob watches were typically constructed with solid gold or silver cases, featuring hand-carved, chased, or engine-turned decoration, enamelled or metal dials, and blued steel hands with mechanical key-wind or stem-wind movements.

Authentic pieces are identified by official British assay office hallmarks stamped inside the case cover indicating metal purity, makers marks from established watchmakers such as J W Benson, and age-appropriate mechanical movement construction.

Antique fob watches are commonly worn as statement jewellery, suspended from a modern gold chain as a pendant necklace, or displayed in a velvet-lined collectors case or glass dome watch stand.

Keep the timepiece stored in a dry environment away from moisture and extreme temperatures, gently wipe the gold case with a microfibre cloth, and avoid over-winding or exposing mechanical movements to water.
