Egyptian Revival 'Moses in a Basket' Locket, 1920's 

Made of 800 silver, the basket hand painted with a scene of Port Said and containing a gilded silver baby Moses.

This charm is based upon the biblical story of Moses in the bulrushes and is told in Exodus. 

 

"The pharaoh of Egypt decreed that all the Hebrew boy babies were to be drowned at birth. When Moses' mother, gives birth she decides to hide her son. She decides to place him in a wicker basket in a strategic spot in the reeds (bulrushes) that grew along the sides of the river Nile, hoping that he will be found and adopted. To ensure the baby's safety, Moses's sister Miriam watches from a hiding place nearby.
The crying baby is heard by one of the pharaoh's daughters. Moses' sister Miriam watches in hiding but comes out when it is clear the princess is planning to keep the child. She asks the princess if she would like a Hebrew midwife. The princess agrees and so Miriam arranges to have the real mother get paid to nurse her own child who now lives among the Egyptian royalty"

Metal: Silver

Weight: 3.8 grams

Length: 2.5cm including bale

Width: 1.4cm

Marks: 800

Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with some scuffmarks to enamel. And often Baby Moses gets lost, so marvellous to have everything intact.

SEDGWICKS pride ourselves on sourcing and selling Antique & Estate Jewellery that is of fine quality and in great condition.

Antique & Estate Jewellery is seldom in perfect or ‘new’ condition as age is inherent for it to be classified as such. Nearly all items we sell are ‘Second-hand’ and will almost certainly show some signs of wear. These may include faint scuffmarks and small dents, even very minor repairs. These are considered acceptable when dealing with objects that have lived a full life. Any imperfections or minor damage will be listed in the description and visible in the photo.

We do ask that you carefully view the photographs provided and note we are happy to supply more images or fuller description if requested.

To help you make your assessment, many higher value items are accompanied by an Independent Valuation for Retail or Insurance
