Description:
A very pretty antique round gold filled locket necklace with a repousse flower and flowing ribbon design with a single “paste" stone hanging on a vintage elongated oval link chain. This early 1900s locket was made by the Foster & Bailey Company. While the front of this round antique hallmarked locket has a raised and clear paste studded flower and ribbon design, the back is monogrammed with 3 initials (LAB) in an old cursive font. There is one clear paste (glass) stone set in the locket front in the center of the raised flower.
The back side of this floral-themed locket is has the cursive monogram of the initials "LAB". The bale is a plain round loop. The locket closes securely.
There are two round photo wells inside. One well is empty and one has a frame still in place. One well has the hallmark F&B on the inner frame edge. This antique locket is early 1900s in age.
The hinge is on the right (when looking at the floral on the front) and this locket opens from the left.
The chain, which is most likely made of jeweler’s brass, is vintage and came with this antique locket. It has an older style of a spring ring clasp.
NOTES:
This locket, which is circa late 1800 or early 1900s, is hallmarked for the Foster & Bailey Company of Providence, Rhone Island. The company was in business from about 1878-1898. The company name was changed at that time, and it continued to operate until the mid 1900s.
"Paste" stones are a type of cut glass that was produced to imitate the look of expensive gems. The most commonly used material for paste was lead glass.
