1820s French Bourbon Restoration Gold Lace Photo Locket

This photo locket, originating from the Bourbon Restoration period in France circa 1820s, is crafted from 18k gold with a glass compartment. The circular locket is well-proportioned and exquisitely made. Its 18k gold frame boasts raised lace detailing, adding a decorative touch that aligns with the balanced and restrained design principles of Neoclassicism. The piece features a hinged opening, revealing an interior space perfect for storing cherished mementos.
