It was listed by Corvidae Antique. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Corvidae Antique has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
This rare 19th century solid silver photograph locket has a beautiful sinuous snake which wraps all the way around, keeping its tiny treasures safe inside. The piece has acquired a lovely silver patina which we have left intact; if you prefer a higher shine it could be polished up.
The locket is in excellent antique condition; it opens easily with a thumbnail and shuts securely with a click. Both the picture frame inserts are intact; we have left the cardboard and watered silk backings which came with the locket but these can easily be removed to insert your own photos or keepsakes.
Size: 5cm drop including the bail. The oval part of the locket measures approx 2.8 x 3.5cm.
Weight: 12.8g.
