Stunning example of a hand carved Etruscan Revival double pane locket in with (marked) 14K gold chain.
Front oval border in carved rosettes /shield encircles a stylized arrow/shield with twin garnets.
Verso is a hand carved design in three sections, telling a long-lost story of the gift and the giver with a flower spray, a fern sprig, and a design reminiscent of a table or a window box. The 14K clasp mimics the shield on the front of the locket.
Inside is a double glass paned section of photos, hair, etc. complete with the original striped paper backing.
Locket is approx. 2cm L and will hang approx. 19cm from clasp.
Truly, a gorgeous, original condition example of antique jewelry.
Nb:
Please carefully read our terms of sale, shipping information, and request any condition photos prior to purchasing. Any condition statement is given as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Because artwork, antiques and collectibles are known to be copied from pre-existing examples, the dating of such objects is often difficult to ascertain, and opinions vary from expert to expert. Due to this, Karen & Albert Vintage Whimsy strongly suggests all potential buyers meticulously inspect any and all items prior purchasing. Any reference to a specific time period and/or culture are only the opinion of Karen & Albert Vintage Whimsy and are not a guarantee of authenticity.
