Victorian Hallmarked Gold Locket With Antique 18 Inch Gold Necklace
A high quality Victorian fully hallmarked gold locket crafted by William Clark Manton in 1899.
More fabulous hallmarked antique gold lockets.
This delightful late Victorian double portrait locket is suspended from an elegant antique 18 inch fully hallmarked gold necklace. The whole exterior case is embellished with the most gorgeous engravings which convey deeply symbolic meanings. The front is ornamented with a shield cartouche which symbolises the desire to protect the wearer of the locket, as does the shield shaped construction of the locket itself. Ivy leaves are shown above and below the shield cartouche. Ivy leaves represent deep friendship and fidelity. Florid acanthus leaves frame this lovely composition. The other side is also decorated with acanthus leaves symbolising ever lasting life. The hinges and catches work perfectly.
The full sets of hallmarks are unworn and easy to read.
The original frames, portrait backings, portrait and clear portrait protectors are present.
The cartouche is inscribed in an elegant font which is open to interpretation. The letters could read, J C, I C, H, H C, H E, J E, I E. This style of font is seen in the Victorian era and it is so artistic that it becomes part of the design.
