    Description

    RARE LOCKET WITH MINIATURE PAINTED PORTRAIT ON WAFER OF "DUCHESS OF DEVONSHIRE" -
    If you are a collector of miniature painted portraits on wafer, from the early part of the 19th Century, then you will definitely want to consider this piece of British Royalty; The Duchess of Devonshire and created after Gainsborough as seen in the name tag that will accompany this fine antique locket. The finest of detail is captured in this exquisite portrait. I have placed a nickle next to the locket for comparison of scale. The hasp and hinged closure work as perfectly as the day this work of art was created. The painting is under a protective domed piece of glass. Please note, this locket is most likely not gold fill, but I believe to be constructed of brass. Nevertheless, I dare you to find another easily wearable piece of history around your neck that contains such a lovely miniature artwork. I am sure this would be a huge conversation piece if worn to the next art opening or live auction you may attend. Good luck to all my clientele winning this superb miniature from the 19th Century. I will ship this item to the winner by Priority Mail FREE of charge.
