FAQs

An antique watch chain, often referred to as an Albert chain, was designed to secure a pocket watch to a waistcoat or jacket, frequently decorated with medals or fobs commemorating sports and societies.

These pieces are generally constructed from sterling silver, with individual links and the attached fob often bearing British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate wear, hand-engraved details on the fob, and distinct laser or stamped hallmarks on the links, T-bar, and swivel clasp.

These pieces can be worn as contemporary necklaces, secured to waistbands as pocket chains, or displayed in glass domes and display cases as cabinet curiosities.

Silver chains should be stored in anti-tarnish bags and cleaned gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage antiqued patination.
