Fully Hallmarked Gold Art Nouveau Antique Locket Necklace 1909
A superb fully hallmarked gold Art Nouveau locket which was crafted by W. H. Collins in 1909.
More outstanding fully hallmarked antique gold lockets.
This solid gold Edwardian keepsake locket was assayed* (tested*) for gold purity at Birmingham Assay Office.
Fashioned in the shape of a heart with embossed edges which depict scrollwork and lobular floral motifs, this piece has a timeless quality.
Each side is fitted with heart shaped panels. Each of the heart shaped panels is decorated with the most deliciously Art Nouveau embellishments. The anterior surface depicts florid acanthus and ivy leaves and a scroll which echoes the sinuous curves of plants. The other heart shaped panel is ornamented with acanthus leaves.
The original portrait protectors and frames are present.
This locket is suitable to hold locks of hair, two portraits or photographs.
This wonderful piece would make the most romantic gift.
As well as the heart shapes which convey sentiments of deep love and respect, acanthus leaves symbolise everlasting life. The emblem of the scroll indicates the virtue of wisdom.
This locket necklace gleams in the light and possesses a mesmerising quality.
Absolutely fabulous!
