Magnificent French Galalith carved rose locket necklace from what I believe to be circa 1910.
This beautiful piece is from an estate of a family of world travelers in the DC area. Judging from the other items, they spent a lot of time in France.
Galalith is a very early plastic made to resemble ivory, is extremely hard material, and it is not flammable. It is one of the closest substitutes to genuine ivory that has ever been made.
The Center rosebud slides aside to show the internal compartment where a photo could be placed. The glass cover and the retaining ring are still intact, but I am not sure how exactly you would get a picture under the glass.
There is a little bit of variation in color over the piece overall, but altogether it's a stunning piece of art.
Sent via Registered Mail, which is slow but secure.
Locket is 40 mm wide, 58 mm tall EXCLUDING the bale, and the chain is 18 , but adjusts.
