Georgian 15ct Gold Vinaigrette Locket

607T
760 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 15ct gold Vinaigrette that was made circa 1820. It is typical of the late Georgian period with engraved engine work spiral detail on both sides with a blank area in the middle on one side for a monogram. Around the edge on both sides is repoussee work with leaves and flowers. It also features on the bale. It hinges open to reveal a pierced gold lyre and hinges open again in order to place a scented pad. This was to repel the odorous smells that could be encountered when out and about at that time!
