Enchanting Art Nouveau lockets, just in time for The Holidays. An elegant swag of fleur de lis embellishes this glossy gold-filled locket. Three fleur de lis are engraved across the front of the locket, and the stylized petals are set with sparkling white paste stones. The locket's back is hand engraved with the monogram "MM." The interior is nice and clean with two intact frames and a tight clasp, marked "W&H Co." in a heart-shaped cartouche. This lovely locket hangs on a vermeil chain with round, flat links. Circa 1900.

Wightman & Hough Company started in the mid-1800s, producing very popular lockets until 1922. Their slogan was, "There's a heart in every locket!" referring literally to their heart-shaped maker's mark and metaphorically to the sentimental nature of the lockets themselves.

Details.....The chain is 18" long, and the locket measures 1.20" in diameter. In Very Good Antique Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of the charm.
