DATE: Victorian, c.1900

Charming late Victorian fan locket with unusual patented opening mechanism. The front of the fan is split down the middle (not evident when closed), each side hinged at the top so it slides out to the side revealing an oval locket compartment underneath. It's beautifully made, finished with hand engraved fan detailing to the front and crafted in 9 karat gold throughout.
