Lancastrian Jewellers has dated this Sterling Silver Albert Chain to the 1910s.
This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.
This chain is hallmarked with the Lion mark on every link. It weighs an impressive 39.9 grams and dates to Chester, 1914.
The chain was named after Prince Albert, who was said to have been fond of wearing watch chains. The Dog clip would have been used to attach a pocket watch or fob, and the T-Bar would go through the buttonhole of a waistcoat to secure it in place.
Today, these are worn as necklaces, and the clips can be used to hang pendants or charms.
This is a quality example of an Albert chain, which would make a great addition to any collection.
