A single Art Nouveau blossom unfurls across one corner of this oval locket, its petals raised in high relief against a smooth silver-tone ground, trailing whiplash-style vines curling toward the edges. The reverse is left plain and unadorned, and it opens to two compartments inside — the lining showing warm gold-tone patches peeking through worn silver plating.
