A beautiful painted locket from the late Victorian period. The locket is made from 9ct gold to the back and the front with the sides and inner made from rolled gold. This is a common method of construction from this period. The front of the locket has the most beautiful pet portrait of a beloved whippet in enamel. There is some lovely detail in the painting and much skill has gone into producing this beauty.
The back of the locket has a wonderfully decorative design, classic to the period. It has also been given careful attention and the locket could be worn either way. Inside, there are two frames, both with their original glass. They can be removed with a pin/tweezers to allow you to place your own photos or momentoes inside.
