EARLY 19TH CENTURY CORAL CHERUB PADLOCK PENDANT

A stunning early 19th century carved coral padlock.

This is an Italian piece circa 1820/30.

The coral has been beautifully carved into two cherubs with folded wings, they appear to rise from a heart and raise a boulder together.  

The padlock is large, and looks excellent on a chunky chain!

The detail is fabulous, and so unique.

The piece is in great condition, hinge is in good working order 

Partial hallmarks on the gold bar.

Size approx: 4cm x 2.7cm

The perfect symbol for support, love and ‘a problem shared is a problem halved’
