Title/Desc - Antique Victorian Silver Book Chain Necklace Hand Etched Floral Link Panels 50.77g
A striking antique Victorian silver book chain necklace, beautifully constructed from a substantial series of articulated links with excellent thickness and presence. Each link combines a shaped hourglass-form panel with rounded bead terminals and a raised, shield-shaped back charm panel, individually decorated with finely hand-etched floral and foliate designs. The repeated pattern creates an exceptionally decorative and tactile necklace with considerable character.
The charm panels display attractive variation in their engraved flowers and foliage, giving the necklace a distinctly hand-worked appearance. Finished with a large circular spring-ring style clasp, the necklace has an impressive sculptural quality and a pleasingly substantial weight. A particularly attractive piece of antique silver jewellery with strong collector and wearable appeal.
CONDITION
Overall good antique condition with age-related surface wear, light scratches, tarnishing and an attractive original patina throughout. There is a couple of splits in the loop/link that goes into the clasp - see photos
The etched floral decoration remains well defined. Links and bead terminals appear generally intact, with expected minor irregularities from age and hand construction. Please study photographs carefully.
