Victorian 9k Rose Gold Bone Gobbo Charm, Antique Lucky Pendant, Natural Bone Lucky Charm, 9 ct Gold, Hunchback, 1800s Good Luck Amulet

Antique bone charm carved as a lucky il Gobbo.

Victorian bone pendant with a solid 9k rose gold hook and bail - no hallmark - acid tested positive as 9k gold.

The charm is beautifully carved as a lucky il Gobbo or Hunchback. It is in good antique/used condition with some signs of use and age on its surface to which in my opinion only add to its timeless beauty. It’s sold as it was acquired from an antique dealer in Italy. (Antique items are almost always pre-worn and will typically have some level of wear). Please refer to images for condition and further details.

It measures approximately 3 cm long (including bail) by 1.5 cm wide and it weighs approximately 3.18 grams. 

The chain on image 8 is just used as a reference. 

“Charms depicting Il Gobbo della Fortuna, also known as the hunchback, were very fashionable in Italy in the 1800s. They were usually shown as a dapper little man wearing a dress suit and a top hat. In Victorian times a person with spinal curvature was also considered a good omen, and gamblers believed that touching their back would bring luck. “
