Originating from the Victorian period around 1890, this silver locket necklace takes a rectangular form with a hinge on the left side and an attaching loop at the top holding a chain. The silver metal has a polished grey finish with minor surface scratches showing signs of age. The front cover bears an embossed relief decoration depicting a riding cap, a crossed hunting horn, and a riding crop. The necklace measures 1.8 cm high, 1.5 cm wide, and 0.4 cm deep, while the attached chain measures 49 cm long. Designed as a wearable accessory, the piece functions as a personal keepsake holder that opens to reveal a tiny frame for a photograph inside. The compact item suits personal wear as jewellery, or forms part of a collection of nineteenth-century metalwork displayed in a cabinet or box within a home.

FAQs

During the mid-to-late Victorian era, motifs representing leisure pursuits such as fox hunting, horse riding, and field sports became popular subjects for decorative jewellery. These pieces reflected the outdoor lifestyle and status of the landed gentry in 19th-century Britain.

Victorian lockets were predominantly constructed from sterling silver, gold, or silver gilt. The decorative relief detailing on the exterior was achieved through technique-specific metalwork including repousse, chasing, and engraving.

Authentic pieces from this period often display British hallmarks indicating silver purity, city marks, and makers stamps. Construction indicators include hand-fitted hinges, original glass rim inserts for photographs, and specific wear patterns consistent with age.

Antique silver lockets can be worn layered with modern silver chains or styled as a focal pendant against contemporary, simple tailored clothing for a classic accent.

Silver lockets should be gently polished with a soft silver-impregnated cloth, avoiding liquid dips that can seep into internal photo compartments. Keep the piece stored in a dry environment to prevent rapid tarnish and moisture damage.
