A trio of metal pocket accessories dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The lot comprises a circular sovereign case, a heart-shaped trinket box, and a rectangular hinged locket. The circular sovereign case is constructed from a gold-toned base metal with stamped foliate scrollwork to both faces. The interior features a red velvet-lined lid and a spring-loaded coin platform containing a copper alloy medallion or coin depicting the Old Head profile of Queen Victoria. The heart-shaped box is fashioned from mixed yellow and red toned metals, featuring a bimetallic basket-weave pattern to the lid and chased foliate and geometric motifs to the sides. The rectangular locket is engraved with a floral rose spray to the cover and fitted with a suspension loop. Marks are present to the interior rim of the rectangular locket but are illegible due to surface corrosion.
