Antique Art Nouveau Silver Forget-Me-Not Floral Locket c. 1900

This absolutely stunning floral locket is from the Art Nouveau period and dates from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Hallmarked with a boar's head on the bail, it carries a minimum 800/1000 guarantee. Using a classic early 20th century top open design, the locket closes securely and firmly to safely store your pictures or a special memory. The forget-me-not floral motif is visible on both sides with light wear to the silver consistent with age; there are some micro-scratches and very small indentations, but nothing noticeable. Forget-me-not flowers were a romantic choice signaling loyalty, fidelity, and love in the language of flowers, and a popular Victorian way of expressing sentiment when overt expressions of emotion were discouraged. A sweet and sentimental choice for a gift, or to cherish yourself.

CONDITION NOTES:
There are light dents to the locket, visible in photos and the video. The interior features two original frames, but no glass or cellophane photo covers. The locket closes securely.
