This carnelian wax seal fob, made around 1800, is deeply sentimental. The inscription "Pour Toujours"—French for "Forever"—sits beneath a trio of meaningful symbols: conjoined flaming hearts, representing passion and unity in love; a cupid’s quiver with arrows, evoking desire and devotion; and an anchor, symbolizing steadfastness and hope. Together, these images form a powerful visual promise: love that is passionate, enduring, and unwavering. Cut in warm carnelian and designed to press into wax, this fob likely once sealed love letters.
