Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A wonderful Victorian silver oval locket that opens to reveal two compartments for photographs. The front is beautifully engraved and overlaid with two colour gold. The design is a bird hovering over water lilies in the Aesthetic style which was so popular in the 1880s. It is the best of its type.
