About the Item

A fine Victorian 18ct yellow gold oval link Albert chain circa 1890. Period Victorian circa 1890 Setting 18ct yellow gold. Hallmarked on every link and T-bar Weight 47.9g Dimensions Chain length 40.5cm/16" Drop 2.5cm/1" T-bar 3.8cm/1.5" Condition Very fine Directors Notes The Albert chain is said to have been named after Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s consort who was said to be particularly partial to this style of watch chain. The T-bar would have been worn attached through the buttonhole of the waistcoat. Today usually worn as a necklace, this style is incredibly popular and many would consider an essential for a jewellery box. Finding an antique Albert chain in 18ct gold is more unusual and this example has a lovely weight and is in excellent condition showcasing beautiful Victorian craftmanship with hallmarks on all links.
