A Victorian oval locket in black enamel, set with a finely worked silver wheat sheaf motif accented by seed pearls. The locket opens to reveal space for keepsakes.
Wheat held clear symbolism in the nineteenth century, associated with renewal, continuity, and the cycle of life. In a mourning context, it suggests remembrance carried forward rather than loss alone.
Condition - light wear consistent with age - wear to the enamel around the reverse edge and bail. Please examine the pictures as they form part of the description.
4.5cm x 3cm
Presented on a length of black antique lace.
