Details

A beautifully preserved antique Georgian necklace from the early 19th Century featuring a large, vinaigrette locket set with a slab of agate on the top and bottom, encased in gold-gilded pinchbeck.

The locket opens to reveal a decorative, open-work grille that would have once contained a sponge soaked in a scented vinegar. These were commonly worn around the neck as a statement piece and allowed the wearer to quickly apply the perfume when needed.

The locket is adorned upon a wonderful, plaited hair necklace with gold-gilded pinchbeck links with intricate, foliate engraving. It’s truly remarkable and a fabulous piece of history that is extremely rare and collectable. 

Weighs: 52.6 grams

Locket measures: 4cm down x 3.5cm across – Inside measures 3cm down x 2.5cm across 

Necklace measures: 38 inches in length

Condition: Excellent
