Victorian Gold Locket - Wonderful Glass Fronted Picture Pendant Hallmarked 1864
This is a lovely antique locket from the Victorian era. It is nicely for 9ct gold and for famous maker George Frank Bickerton and for Birmingham 1864. It has a clever mechanism where the top ball can be carefully unscrewed which releases the two sides so can you change the internal pictures. There is a glasss cover to each side and presently a very nice photograph of a couple to one side and a pretty lady to the other. It has minor wear and shaping issues to the gold and the top screw is prettily decorated and also has a hole for wearing on a chain. It is a delicate piece so care is advised. It measures 1.4 inches high.
As an antique item it will show signs of age and patina.
Please examine the photographs carefully and do feel free to ask any questions, I am happy to help.
