Victorian French locket pendant in silver plated. An enamelled ceramic plate adorns the center of the pendant. It represents a woman in traditional regional costume, with her head bowed and her hands crossed, in front of the village church. Her traditional costume let us think that the woman is from Alsace, East of France, because of the large black bow which was worn here at this period.
Red glass stones surround the figure in a set of filigree. At the back, the locket opens to hide a lock of hair or a photograph of the loved one.
Height: 4.3 cm
Width: 3.1 cm
Condition: slight lack of the enamel on the left side of the ceramic.

Historical point: since 1784, the sea baths of Biarritz are in fashion and Napoleon bathes there in 1808. Later, the Empress Eugenie, who came several times with her family, convinced her husband Napoleon III to make it their holiday resort. Following the construction of the Biarritz salt baths, the city experienced a great boom in the years 1900-1920 thanks to the international tourism that developed there. Coco Chanel opened her 3rd boutique there in 1915.
