Wonderful 1880s Victorian Aesthetic Movement
Sterling Silver Picture Locket 14g
This is a wonderful, good size, unmarked silver picture
locket suitable for a medium width silver neck chain. Tests confirm that it is
a minimum of 925 for its sterling silver fineness. From pattern and technique,
we date this example to the Aesthetic movement fashion; somewhere around the
1880s.
The locket is a generous oval shape with a
decorative crenulated edge. The top cover is decorated with an embossed geometric
trellis with infills of four leaves arranged in a lozenge pattern. The back
cover is plain. It is hinged and opens like a book. The covers are deep and
intended to hold images tucked into the inner edges. There is a bale and
triangular jump ring at the top to thread onto a chain.
