385X
Written by Olly Gerrish

In the early nineteenth century many tourists embarked on the Grand Tour of which Switzerland was a certain destination. Around this fashion there grew a thriving trade in trinkets.  This 15ct gold locket was made circa 1830 and features a hand enamelled mountain scene with a church and a person in the foreground.  On the reverse is a hinged glazed locket that would originally have held a lock of hair. Swiss enamel is well known for its high quality and a special favourite for collectors. The mount is 15ct gold with applied rope and bobble work.
