Victorian reverse painted Hope locket. Painting shows a woman representing hope standing with an anchor by the sea. The anchor symbolizes hope, derived from a Bible verse describing hope as an anchor for the soul. Inside the glass is some grosgrain fabric pieces to offset any mourning mementos like tiny portraits or clips of hair. The pendant is oval-shaped with a gold-tone metal frame and a bail for hanging. The locket has been displayed in a small box with green velvet.

Antique tiny bible with a decorative box. The tiny book has an embossed leather cover. It stays inside a matchbox that has a velvet cover with a decorative paper applique. Inside the matchbook is a tiny print of a man standing near a large log cabin on a lake.

Condition

Good. The book shows wear consistent with age. The pendant has some wear to the paint and metal.
