Georgian 18ct Gold & Blue Enamel Padlock with Pierced Motif

997U
140 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 18ct gold late Georgian padlock that was made circa 1830. The front has an elaborately pierced and engraved sprig motif. Beneath is Royal blue enamel. On the reverse is a glazed locket that would have originally held a lock of hair. The padlock hinges open and is engraved with a criss cross design. It would most likely originally have been the clasp on a bracelet but nowadays can be worn on a chain around the neck.
