Toutes les enchères / Bijouterie & Joaillerie / Antique Gold Locket with Pearls, Paris c. 1875
The bourgeoisie of the 19th century cultivated a distinct culture of remembrance, which was also reflected in jewellery. People exchanged locks of hair, for example, which they carried with them in the form of pieces of jewellery, and ascribed friendly and romantic meanings to certain gemstones and decorative motifs. Around 1870, the locket in particular became the wealthy bourgeoisie's favorite piece of jewellery, as it could be used to safely store photos, locks of hair and letters. As a result, numerous photo lockets were created in a wide variety of designs. This locket pendant made of high-carat gold is a lovingly and precious example. It is designed in a classic oval shape. Its front shows a three-dimensional application of finely modeled leaves and tendrils that frame a transverse cartouche with a black enameled edge. A row of five fine oriental pearls shimmer in the center of the design. Fine gold beads and a circumferential cord band close off the oval on the outside. Inside the locket, a compartment with a small frame provides space for personal mementos, such as a lock of hair or a photograph. According to the hallmark, the piece of jewellery was made in Paris around 1875. The locket has retained its original gold cord chain, with which it can be worn immediately around the neck. The rich gold color of the ensemble, which is typical of 19th century French jewellery, is particularly beautiful. We discovered this beautifully preserved piece of jewellery in Munich.
