Early Victorian Engraved Gold Sheet Locket
This early Victorian locket is a little beauty. The round, gold sheet locket bears two styles of engraving: the front and back have an intricate machine engraved pattern, while the edges are engraved with a pretty foliate design. The decorative bale is also engraved. The locket is hinged at the bottom opening to reveal a small compartment, ideal for preserving a lock of hair, a flower, or whatever wee token you desire. So sweet, this would make a charming Mother's Day gift. Circa 1840.
Details.....The locket measures 17.5mm in diameter, 1" with bale. The vintage gold filled chain is 15" long. In Very Good Antique Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique pieces; we consider it part of the charm.
