Antique Fausse Montre or false watch with paste stones and engraved details.
Fausse Montre, translates from French to mean false watch. It was trendy to appear to be wearing two watches. These pieces were an affordable option to a second watch. They were mostly worn on one end of a chain, with a real pocket watch on the other end.
This is NOT a locket and does not open. It is not hollow, so it has a great heavy weight to it.
It appears to be gold filled, but it is not marked.
Dates to around 1860-70
It is in excellent condition. There is a slight scuff on the back but the plating is in overall excellent condition.
About 1 1/4" in length. Comes with a 24" gold filled chain.
Shipping is complementary in the US
