The dolphin was a favourite emblem of the period: drawn from antiquity, associated with protection and safe passage, and adopted in the Regency era as a subtle nod to Britain’s naval triumphs under Lord Nelson. It also carries echoes of French royal iconography, the “Dauphin”, adding an additional layer of historical resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003eThe base is set with a polished bloodstone intaglio engraved with the name Phyllis. Names drawn from classical literature were extremely fashionable in the early 19th century, and Phyllis, a pastoral heroine found in Greek myth and in Romantic poetry.

It is an evocative, poetic name that fits seamlessly with the neoclassical sensibilities of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1330\"\u003eA wonderfully characterful seal combining symbolism, history and sentiment and a rare surviving example personalised to its original owner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56466907038069,"sku":"107M","price":1530.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/regency-9ct-gold-dolphin-seal-with-bloodstone-intaglio-phyllis-4001179.jpg?v=1765596159","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/fr-es\/products\/regency-9ct-gold-dolphin-seal-with-bloodstone-intaglio-phyllis","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
