About the Item
This antique signet ring features a Roman carnelian intaglio depicting Cupid riding a lion. The intaglio is set in a 22kt gold shank, and the shank of the ring dates to the 19th century,. The detailed carving on the carnelian showcases the fine artistry typical of Roman intaglios, making this ring a significant piece of historical jewellery.
Historical Significance:
Signet rings featuring intaglios were popular in Roman times, often used to seal documents and signify authority. The depiction of Cupid, the Roman god of love, riding a lion, symbolizes strength and love. This motif, combined with the 19th-century gold shank, reflects the enduring appeal and adaptation of classical themes in later jewellery designs.
