Charming antique high relief vulcanite mourning double locket depicting lily-of-the-valley flowers dating from the mid Victorian period. In the language of flowers the lily-of-the-valley has the meaning sweetness, tears of the Virgin Mary and humility. The hinge needs replacing, the locket is in 2 parts when open but does shut securely, inside both lenses are present, with mourning hair behind one lens. To the rear are the remains of a sticky label but this will clean off. Great detailing to the flowers please see the pictures.
