Floral Repoussé Gold Locket c1870

Floral Repoussé Gold Locket c1870

An absolutely breathtaking locket adorned with sculpturally crafted, meticulously detailed flowers in warm, beautifully aged gold, with just the right touch of antique diamond sparkle! This gorgeous piece was made with top-tier artistry in France in 1869. The flowers are formed through repoussé, a process which renders a three dimensional picture by pushing it into the metal from the back. This particular example is more finely detailed than most, fully capturing the softness of the flower petals in its subtle lines and delicate shaping. The rich matte gold's patina perfectly highlights the locket's immaculate floral design. Its alluring asymmetry makes it feel completely original, like the most special work of art!
