Egyptian Revival Obelisk Hieroglyphics Locket Necklace Art Deco Victorian

About the Item

Indulge in an exceedingly rare antique Art Deco to Victorian Egyptian Revival Locket Pendant Necklace with a fabulous three dimensional image of an Obelisk with Egyptian Hieroglyphics. The locket hangs from a wonderful mesh chain link necklace. The locket and necklace are gold filled and date to circa 1860-1920. The locket has a fabulous image of an obelisk. The obelisk is three dimensional and is covered with Egyptian Hieroglyphics. The background is a wonderful engraved design. Egyptian Revival lockets are extremely rare and this one with the image of the obelisk is just incredible. The locket opens to hold two of your treasured photos or mementos and the perspex covering is present on one side. For centuries, Ancient Egypt has held the fascination of the public and continues to inspire artists and designers alike. With the discoveries of Egyptian tombs, and the treasures within, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the exotically opulent lives of the Pharaohs were beyond anyone’s imagination. Of all the precious objects unearthed in the tombs, the lavish jewels were perhaps the most fascinating for their extravagance and never-before-seen symbolism. The Roaring Twenties and the period’s Art Deco jewelry embraced the vivid contrasting colors, motifs, and symbols more daringly than ever before. Whether the jewels were complete, faithful reproductions or real artifacts preciously decorated in similar style, the Egyptian Revival jewelry during the Art Deco era is the most lavish and magnificent. The locket pendant is 1 3/4 inches (4.5cm) tall not including the bales. It is 1 1/4 inches (33mm) wide. The necklace chain is 15 inches long. The necklace chain is 3/4 inch (18mm) wide. The necklace chain could be easily lengthened if desired. The locket and chain are gold filled. The necklace weighs 68.4 grams.
