18K Solid Gold Art Nouveau Small French Locket c. 1900

We love antique jewelry for its history and uniqueness which is embodied by this Art Nouveau locket. Featuring a repoussee rose and thistle design opposite a seed pearl embedded in a starburst, this locket showcases a charming combination of many styles popular at the turn of the century. In Victorian times seed pearls represented tears or purity. The locket is hallmarked with an eagle head on the inside rim, a Parisian hallmark guaranteeing a minimum of 18K gold purity. A lovely locket for any occasion.

CONDITION NOTES:
The locket has been well loved and well worn with numerous dents to the reverse and some micro-scratches to the gold. The locket closes very well. There are no interior frames but a picture could be cut to size and placed into the side.
