Victorian 18ct Gold Book Locket

490U
160 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

This book locket is in really good condition. When lifted the clasp enables the locket to be hinged open to reveal eight further hinged sections for photographs to be adhered to.  It is 18ct gold and has ornate Gothic hinges and beautiful engraving in a style reminiscent of Medieval manuscripts. It was made circa 1860.

 

Ollys Pick

Such lockets are hard to find nowadays as not many were made.
