This oval locket features a distinctive raised design of rounded vertical fluting alternating with delicate twisted rope details, creating wonderful texture and depth across the exterior.
The locket opens to accommodate two small photographs, portraits or personal keepsakes. It retains its removable oval glass insert, designed to protect a photograph, miniature portrait or perhaps a treasured lock of hair.
The bail bears silver hallmarks together with the silversmith's maker's mark.
