Antique Victorian Damaged Flower Enamel Locket
Antique Victorian Damaged Flower Enamel Locket
Antique Victorian (possibly French) oval gold plated enamel flower locket.
The locket is in poor condition and being sold as an as-is damaged piece. Aside from enamel loss, the back plate is missing, replaced with a cellulose type film cover, which is also deteriorating from age. At the top of the front plate there is both missing metal and a crack forming. I attribute the damage to a combination of heavy wear and more importantly, the type of solder used during manufacturing.
The locket opens and closes fine, and includes a lovely original photo of a Victorian woman.
This piece comes from my personal collection, and I have used it as a decorative item.
Locket measures 1.25 x 1 inch.
