Late Victorian 15k Gold Heart Padlock Charm
Late Victorian 15k Gold Heart Padlock Charm
$500.00
Description
DATE: Late Victorian, c.1900
This lovely antique charm is modelled as a heart padlock. Modelled in 15k gold throughout with marks for Henry Griffith and Sons, Birmingham based goldsmiths established in 1850. The padlock mechanism can be used from the side of the heart, where a little catch open and closes, releasing the "shackle". Originally this would have been used a bracelet clasp, but we love it worn on a chain!
