Fine Antique British Sterling Silver Double Albert Pocket Watch Chain – Individually Hallmarked Links – T-Bar & Swivel – 15.74g

A particularly attractive and unusual antique British sterling silver Double Albert pocket watch chain, featuring an intricate two-strand construction and highly decorative elongated twisted links.

One of the strongest features of this piece is the extensive hallmarking: individual components throughout the chain carry the British lion passant sterling silver mark, rather than the chain relying upon a single silver mark. This is a particularly pleasing detail for collectors of genuine antique British silver and watch chains.

The chain has a distinctive decorative construction, alternating traditional connecting links with elongated open twisted sections containing finely coiled/spiral detailing. The darker recessed areas provide excellent contrast against the polished silver and give the chain considerable visual depth.

Complete with its traditional T-bar fitting and swivel/dog clip, allowing it to be worn in the classic Albert manner with a pocket watch, fob, medal or other accessory.
