Description
I am pleased to offer from my private collection this exceptional and rare Victorian Memento Mori pocket watch dating to the 1890s, featuring a beautifully enameled dial with a striking scene of Death (skeleton) conversing with a maiden, symbolic of the inevitability of mortality. The dial is adorned with the Latin phrase “Memento Mori”, reminding the wearer to cherish life. The watch is housed in a finely crafted gilt silver chased case with a detailed skull-and-crossbones motif surrounded by an entwined serpent, both powerful symbols associated with mortality and eternity. The case measures 49mm in diameter. The movement is a high-quality keyless wind lever escapement, running in excellent condition and keeping good time. Condition: • Case: Excellent condition with crisp chasing and minimal signs of age. • Dial: Vibrant and intact with no damage to the enamel artwork. • Movement: Clean and in perfect working order. Key Features: • Period: Victorian, circa 1890s • Case: Gilt silver with skull, crossbones, and serpent decoration • Diameter: 49mm • Movement: Keyless lever escapement • Working condition: Yes, runs perfectly This is a museum-worthy collector’s piece, highly desirable for those interested in antique horology, Victorian symbolism, or Memento Mori artifacts.
