600R
600 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautiful padlock that was made circa 1830. It is blonde tortoiseshell with ornate bright cut engraved gold overlay featuring roses, thistles and a shamrock design. It signifies the union of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. On one side is a purely decorative keyhole with a raven on either side. Attached to it is a blonde tortoiseshell carved anchor that represents Englands supremacy at sea. An unusual and lovely piece of historic jewellery
