Antique Victorian Heavy 88.37g Sterling Silver Double Albert Chain 1900
Sold Out
Very attractive and heavy Victorian Sterling Silver ‘double’ Albert chain with associated T-bar and shield fob.
(Albert chains come in singles and doubles. A double has two dog clips, with a T-bar in the centre).
Weighing a hefty 88.37 grams this substantial chain is also 59cm long and will ‘drop’ quite nicely rather than sit high on the collar bones.
Each and every curb link is stamped with the lion passant for Sterling Silver as are the original dog clips, T bar and Fob.
The T-bar and chain are hallmarked for E. Whitehouse & Son - Vyse Street Birmingham - with date letter for 1900.
The ornate and blank shield fob ( waiting for your inscription ) is hallmarked for William Walter Cashmore
Warstone Lane, Birmingham; subsequently Hockley Hill, Birmingham and date letter for 1889.
In excellent original condition with no mix and matching of replacement pieces this wonderful chain feels luxurious and substantial when worn.
