Description:
Lovely antique Art Nouveau gold filled round photo locket on a new gold filled chain with a religious theme. Beautiful and ornate, this locket was from the early to mid 1900s. The locket front features a paste studded cross. The cross is set with 16 paste stones. They vary in size as they are graduated from small to a bit larger art the ends, and some have darkened with age - see photos.

NOTE: Inside this antique locket is one photo frame that is marked with the makers mark W&H CO which stand for the Whitman and Hough Company.

NOTE: "Paste" stones are a type of cut glass. Paste stones were mainly produced to imitate the look of diamonds. The most commonly used material for paste was lead glass.

The back features a beautiful stylized letter M that fills most of the whole back side.

The locket hangs from a vintage 20" long new 14K gold filled rope chain. The spring ring clasp closes securely as does the locket itself.

The antique locket has one of the inner metal photo frames and plastic cover intact. The other well is empty.
