Offering a rare antique Victorian Gold Filled Book Chain Necklace and Locket. This very large and desirable locket necklace is evocative of the Art Nouveau movement. The locket front features raised floral decoration while the back possesses an intricate and fancy mesh decoration and curlicues. Inside the locket are two tin types of men we suspect are brothers. The chain is a classic Book Chain with robust links and pierced acanthus leaf decoration which can be worn alone without the locket if so desired. A spring type “C” clasp completes the design. I suspect you will not find such a large presentation of a necklace and locket any time soon. Measuring: Pendant 2 1/4″ Tall w/o bale, 1 3/4″ Wide. The condition is near mint. No damage or wear. The gilding has taken on a mellow glow. There are no glass lenses, if there ever were any. The locket opens and closes properly. The patina is wonderful. Please see my other listings.
