Antique Gold Filled Devil Satan Locket Rare Subject

Jewelry : Antique : Fine

 

Such an unusual antique locket. The devil has horns and the detail in the piece is just incredible. I have seen many of these style lockets but this is the very first I have seen with Satan depicted on the front and searches have not yielded another one like this. The locket measures 1 and 1/8 inches in diameter. It is marked on the inside H 1/4 G. I cannot find the maker in my books. The piece is gold filled with both rose and yellow gold color. It is in excellent antique condition with what I believe are all the original insides - one metal ring has a little bending and a few light scratches to the back. It snaps securely and safely shut. I will give it a cleaning if requested by purchaser as it could stand one on the inside. Circa 1890-1910. Please ignore glare and reflections on metal.
