DATE: Victorian, c.1880

A cool and unusual antique love token pendant dating from the late 19th Century. The rococo surround borders a central disc with an enamelled rooster and the words "quand ce coq chantera, mon amitie finira," or When that rooster crows, my love will end. It's crafted in silver, with Austro-Hungarian marks on the surround.
