Art-Nouveau gold locket pendant, circa 1895-1910. The obverse is high-relief modelled with a maiden’s portrait, her flowing hair intertwined with floral-foliate motifs set with two antique-cut diamonds. Constructed as a hinged locket, the reverse opens to hold miniature photographs or keepsakes. Boasts sinuous, fluid lines, the hallmark naturalistic aesthetic of Art-Nouveau jewellery. Fitted with original bale. Diamonds in good condition; hinge functions properly, locket complete.
