Victorian Silver Black Enamel Locket Padlock
An amazing statement padlock pendant from the Victorian period, c1870s. The locket is made from silver, marked with an Austro Hungarian hallmark from around 1872. It is a beautiful, large locket, which has solid black enamel and a pearl studded star at the centre. The pearls are a little worn, though all original and still hold their charm. Inside the locket there is some residue red paint that is scratched. There are no frames, but each side has a lip that would keep a photo in place. There is an excellent click to the closure. The locket is complete with a working padlock mechanism. Such a lovely size for a piece such as this!
Chain pictured is for display only.
