Antique Niello Silver “Souvenir” Memory book locket pendant
A beautiful 19th-century antique silver locket in the charming form of a little book, adorned with finely executed niello enamel. The front cover bears the word “Souvenir” — French for “memory” — making this piece a particularly sentimental keepsake.
The reverse is equally delightful, decorated with elegant ribbon-like enamel motifs, perfect for a personal engraving. Open the little book to reveal two pages, ready to hold miniature photographs or be engraved with a meaningful name, date, or message.
Remarkably well preserved, with its dark enamel beautifully integrated into the silver, this substantial pendant feels wonderfully weighty in the hand. A rare and beautifully crafted survivor from a bygone era, made to hold precious memories close to heart.
The chain on the photos is not included in the listing.
