Victorian Aesthetic Movement Essex Crystal Locket tooth A vow to life longDATE: Victorian, c. 1880 A remarkable antique Essex Crystal locket in the aesthetic style, dating from the Victorian period. The subject has been reverse carved into a rock crystal dome, and carefully hand painted with a heron on a river bank. The attention to detail is amazing, and the gold locket back perfectly sets the scene of a golden sunset. Surrounding the crystal is a stylized foliate border, with original bail and locket back.
