Rare Celluloid Mother of Pearl Locket with Geisha Photos

$175

This locket is absolutely amazing! An unassuming but gorgeous floral front slides open to reveal risque photos of bare chested geishas! This was designed as a souvenir piece in the Art Deco era, for a lucky man to take home from his trip abroad. Done in celluloid and with lovely mother-of-pearl inlay on the front and back (the back has a tiny butterfly), this is a unique treasure you will not find anywhere else.

HISTORY: 1920's Art Deco

MATERIALS: Celluloid, mother-of-pearl, paint, photos, gold filled chain.

SIZE: We've placed this on a new 18" chain. The locket hangs 1 3/8" from the chain and measures 3/4" in width.

CONDITION: Great antique condition. The one photo does have some wear to it but it's still visible. The celluloid has light scratches, as can be expected with age.
