A stunning, late Victorian antique gold locket. The locket is marked for A.A. Green & Company, a company that did not make jewelry past 1931. This piece dates to the 1910s and is exceptionally made. The locket is marked for "1/10 gold shell", which is double the gold content of most gold fill pieces (usually 1/20). The gold is a lower carat, probably around 10K, and shows no tarnish or wear. The chain is marked for the Bates & Bacon company, a popular turn of the century chain and fob manufacturer.

The locket is octagonal with a plain verso and engraved face. The face is bordered with very fine engravings of acanthus leaves and pansies, two popular motifs during the Victorian era. The center of the locket is lightly engraved with the letter "F." The locket hinges from the bottom to a tidy interior with one picture compartment currently in use. It holds a turn of the century photograph of a woman in period dress. The picture ring is original. The locket closes tightly and is in outstanding condition.

Measurements: Locket 1.5" x 1.25" | Chain 19"
Era: 1910s
Markings: AAG 1/10 Gold Shell (mark for A.A. Green & Co) on locket, Bates & Bacon on the chain
