Antique 1883 Silver Locket Necklace
Description
This Victorian silver oval locket is a beautifully restrained example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, combining crisp engraving.The front is decorated with a central engraved foliate panel framed by rope-twist borders, while the reverse is left plain. The oval form and hinged construction are characteristic of the period, designed to sit comfortably against the body when worn on a chain.
Originally intended to hold a miniature photograph or keepsake, lockets such as this were deeply personal objects, often worn daily. Today, it translates effortlessly into a modern context, worn simply as a silver pendant or layered with other antique chains. The generous bail allows it to sit well on a range of chain styles and lengths.
