DATE: Victorian, c.1880

An incredible antique "musical locket" dating from the latter half of the 19th Century. It's crafted in silver gilt - the outer case adorned with gorgeous hand-chased detailing - and it opens to reveal a miniature music box, the inner workings on display through a clear compartment.
