A fabulous antique French guard chain made up of fancy, open-worked links fashioned in 18ct gold leading to a ring clasp at the end.
Guard chains were popular in the 19th Century and were usually adorned with a pocket watch or lorgnette and were long enough to be tucked into a belt.
The chain measures 60 inches in length and can be worn as one long chain as it was back in the day or looped twice around the neck if preferred.
We recommend you insure for £2,300. We can provide a written Valuation on completion of the sale.
