Victorian Chunky Link Watch Chain Necklace
Circa 1880 and very hard to find today: a solidly made antique watch chain necklace crafted in sterling silver with an interesting mix of chunky twist links. Although this was originally meant as a gentleman's "double Albert" watch chain, it makes a fantastic modern statement for a male or female neck.
The double clip clasps can alos serve as pendant or charm holders.
Details: Measuring approximately 16 1/2" long with the links about 5.5 mm wide. The t-bar measures 1 3/8" long and has a drop of 1". Fully hallmarked for British manufacture. Stamped throughout with the British lion passant hallmark indicating sterling silver. Weighs approximately 29.8 grams.
Condition: In excellent condition with a light antique patina, and some subtle age-related wear and marks to the surface.
