Magnificent, classic medallion from the late Biedermeier period, skilfully crafted in gold-plated silver. This exquisite piece of jewellery, created around 1860, pays homage to the style of its era. The generously dimensioned, high-oval pendant presents itself in an abundance of carefully arranged rocailles and ornaments that adorn its surface. Some of these elements are masterfully emphasised with black enamel, giving the medallion a fascinating depth and contrast.
The back of the pendant is just as skilfully designed, engraved with delicate ornaments, and harbours a secret: a hinged lid that opens gently to reveal an intimate space for a personal photograph. This detail makes the locket a true treasure chest of memories, in which the pictures of loved ones can be held close to the heart.
This extraordinary piece is completed by a matching chain, which allows the locket to be worn as a striking statement or as a fine addition to an elegant ensemble. The excellent condition of the locket speaks to the care and dedication with which it has been preserved over the years, making it a coveted piece for collectors and lovers of historical jewellery art.
