Queen Victoria wax seal necklace - God Save the Queen
Royally yours from the magical Victorian era, a Queen Victoria wax seal necklace - God Save the Queen! The young Queen Victoria surrounded by the words GOD SAVE - a rebus seal that sends the message GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
Victoria became the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland in 1837 at the age of 18. She married her first cousin Albert in 1840 and together they had 9 children. Prince Albert died in 1861 and Victoria continued her reign as Queen until her death in 1901.
Her reign is know as the Victorian era, from 1837 - 1901.
I now also have a matching Prince Albert wax seal but haven't had time to impress the pendant just yet ... inquire if curious to see the antique seal!

Hand crafted from a small British antique Victorian desk wax seal, which dates back to 1837 - 1901.
More chains, charm catchers and swivel fobs are available here.
The last photos depict a small tired envelope dated 1844 with a red wax impression using the same seal. It's part of a personal collection belonging to a man named Winston, an avid philatelist from England, who acquired it not because of the amazing red wax seal but because he is a collector of postal history and studies postage stamps, postmarks, cancellations and so much more.
Impressed with history!
