About the Item
There is no piece of jewellery as classic and timeless as a choker necklace, like this antique black velvet mourning choker.
Hailing from the George IV era, a rare find, this beautiful choker is made from rich black velvet with a short pile.

It is engraved on the reverse John Leach, Ob June 26 1822 aet 73.
