Beautiful 19th-century antique photo locket, featuring an elegant oval design crafted from gilt brass and black onyx.
The locket features polished black onyx panels on both sides, creating an elegant contrast with the warm golden tone of the gilt brass setting.
The mount is beautifully detailed with a raised decorative border surrounding the oval shape. It retains its suspension loop and ring, allowing it to be worn as a pendant on a chain or ribbon.
The locket opens and was traditionally designed to hold a small photograph, miniature portrait, lock of hair or another treasured personal keepsake, reflecting the sentimental jewelry tradition of the 19th century.
A charming and authentic antique piece with plenty of character, perfect for wearing or adding to a collection of antique jewelry.
Condition: good antique condition considering its age. Please note a small deformation along the edge of the brass setting and a few small chips to the black onyx, all visible in the photographs. Please review the photos carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
