Le Carnet offered its first owner a beautifully appointed place for the details of everyday devotion: a photograph carefully trimmed to fit, a note folded into quarters, the names and reminders that accompanied a life fully lived. More than ornament, it was designed to participate in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOriginally worn as a watch fob, the substantial gold-filled locket retains its swivel dog clip and generously proportioned interior compartments. Everything about its construction speaks to function, yet the maker couldn’t resist embellishment. The front swells with an extravagant repoussé motif, while the reverse erupts into a dramatic starburst. Practicality may have dictated its purpose. Personality shaped its final form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEra:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Victorian, c. 1900–1915\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Paris, France\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Gold Filled\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Chain approx. 14 1\/4 inches; locket approx.1 1\/4 x 7\/8 inches\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Watch chain fob necklace \/ box locket necklace\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e None found\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear.
