A wonderful antique Victorian sterling silver book chain necklace with enough heft and presence to attach the most imposing of antique lockets.
Neoclassical in style and finished in a high polish this is a quality necklace. The large square 'book' links are cut through on the front giving a panelled effect and they have an elliptical profile from the side. Each link is strengthened inside with a little silver supporting post so the links keep their pillowed shape and don't flatten out.
The book links are joined together with butterfly shaped links that are decorated on the tops with silver beadwork. The necklace terminates with a large spring loaded bolt ring that has a little nub on the side to anchor the ring in the perfect position on the chain.
Subtle, yet far from plain, this beautiful Victorian necklace has enough presence for wear on its own as a signature piece and is equally at home attached to your favourite lockets and pendants. Tons of versality and lovely quality! Please note the locket shown is available for purchase separately.
MATERIALS: Sterling Silver, acid tested
ERA: Victorian, circa 1860
MEASUREMENTS: 17-3/4" long (45mm) 3/4 wide (20mm). The bolt ring measures 16mm.
WEIGHT: 46 grams
HALLMARKS: None
CONDITION: In very, very good antique condition with expected signs of light wear and age. The chain links have free movement and the clasp is in perfect working order. There is a very small tear on the side of one of the square links at the back, it is not particularly noticeable and it wont affect wear or durability. One little bead accent is absent on a butterfly link so there are 3 instead of 4 but this may be just a minor manufacturing flaw as opposed to any real damage. Please see photos.
