Antique Art Nouveau Gold Plated Mistletoe Photo Locket
£295.00
- Description
A charming Art Nouveau oval locket pendant decorated in relief with a flowing sprig of mistletoe. The motif captures the plant’s distinctive rounded berries and paired leaves with the fluid, naturalistic line typical of the period. The locket opens to reveal two circular frames for photographs. The bail is stamped and original to the piece. Mistletoe primarily symbolizes love, romance, fertility, and peace. Because it remains vibrantly green and can blossom during the darkest winter months, it is also a universal emblem of vitality, resilience, and eternal life
