A stunning vinaigrette that can be worn as a pendant, from the Georgian period, dated Birmingham 1818. It is beautifully made in the shape of a padlock, from sterling silver. The vinaigrette opens on a hinge to one side revealing a decorative pierced grille. The grille opens on a hinge to the bottom allowing the owner to place their perfume soaked sponge within.
The inside of the lock is gilded and there are clear, crisp hallmarks on both sides. It is in beautiful condition and could be used as a locket should you wish to. The vinaigrette is a statement size and looks fantastic on a chunky or fine chain. Such a wonderful piece!
The chain pictured is for display only. The top of the ‘lock’ does not open to be used as a clasp.
