Description

In the 19th century, the world was not yet as networked as it is today - but actually more networked than you might think! In Victorian London, for example, the mail was delivered twelve times a day in 1889, between the early morning and evening hours, so that even spontaneous messages and appointments were possible. Telegrams could also be sent over longer distances. However, those who not only wanted to read or hear the words of a loved one, but also wanted to see them, made do with a locket with a portrait or even a lock of hair as a tangible memento. Especially in the last third of the century, lockets were created in a wide variety of designs. The present specimen is designed as a simple oval, to which an arabesque arrangement of gold wires and beads is applied. A natural pearl accompanied by two small leaf ornaments is held in the center by a flower-shaped chaton. The rest of the surface is plain, but a matte fine gold plating on the solid gold body gives the jewellery a velvety look, quite characteristic of jewellery of this period. On the back of the pendant there is a spacious glazed compartment. The locket from the years around 1880 is very nicely preserved and found its way to us from Munich.
