Description

The listing, Large vintage locket with painted centerpiece has ended.

I'm having a brain cramp and can't remember what the center of this lovely locket is called..any help will be appreciated. Of course, if I remember, I'll change the title...

That being said, this is a large locket with a centerpiece of what looks like glass or porcelain surrounded by a filigree trim in a lovely and shiny gold tone metal. The locket opens, as you can see in the photo, and has room for 2 good sized pictures. There is minimal wear from age and the locket seems to be in excellent vintage condition.

Now...for the centerpiece. I believe it to be a decal, but it is possible that it could be hand painted. It's hard for me to tell at my age...lol. The photos show the scene, which to me looks like a man and a woman and the man is being a little frisky. But again, I don't see that well anymore...

The size is 1 1/2 inches wide by 2 inches tall and it does have some dimensional depth to it, probably about 1/2 inch. It is shiny gold tone (not real gold...not even listia gold) metal and needs a jump ring to hang from a chain. Quite heavy too, you will definitely know you have it on.

And it's free!

Free shipping in the US. Canadians please email me for consideration of free shipping.

Thanks for looking!

Very pretty, many of these cameo lockets were reverse painted on the inside of glass.

Thank you. I doubt that this is reverse painted though, it looks like a typical little decal type rather than a reverse painted. Could be painted on the glass on the outside, but truly looks more applied than painted. It is lovely, however. Thanks for your interest.
