An impressive heavy duty Victorian sterling silver Albert watch chain. The chain is stamped with the British lion passant for sterling silver on every curb link with matching 1893 hallmarks on the t-bar and dog-clip. Extensive hallmarking is always a sign of high quality in antique chains and matching hallmarks tell us the components are original to the chain.
The chain has solid curb links that are graduated and it benefits from a nice long drop attached to an antique 1876 Masonic silver fob with the compass and square symbol. This chain is the perfect length to wrap around the wrist twice to wear as a bracelet too!
A beautiful top quality solid silver watch chain in outstanding antique condition with minimal surface wear and beautifully polished. The collectible fob is the icing on the cake, this is an antique piece of jewellery that you will treasure and will want to wear forever!
