Antique Georgian portrait pendant, Mourning locket, 9ct gold

You will fall in love with this exceptional late Georgian, portrait miniature pendant, so rich in historical beauty and character.

Housed in a rich 9ct yellow gold frame it has a fine portrait of a gentleman to one side, he is dressed with a high collared white shirt with ruffles and blue frock coat, he has dark hair, reminiscent of the late 18th century style dress.

To the verso there is a section of dark brown plaited and woven hair, this has moved and adjusted somewhat leaving a small gap.

The portrait and hairwork are both set under slightly convex glass covers and secured with the gold frame.

There is a jump ring added to the top.

Shown in the picture on a contemporary organza necklace for illustration, it is a very heavy piece and will need a substantial chain or ribbon to hold.
