Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

The piece comprises interlocking curb chain links, a T-bar attachment, two swivel clasps, and a central ornate shield-shaped fob medallion. Each link bears the lion silver mark, while the clasps, one link, and the fob display hallmarking with a maker's mark for Herbert Bushell & Son, alongside a period replacement T-bar.

The ensemble serves as a historical collectible or a decorative display piece on a desk or within a cabinet in a study or library today.

FAQs

Named after Prince Albert, the chain was popularised during the Victorian era to securely fasten a pocket watch to a waistcoat buttonhole using a transverse T-bar.

Albert chains were typically crafted from sterling silver, gold, rolled gold, or pinchbeck, featuring cast or hand-formed curb links, swivel clasps, and attached fobs.

Authentic British silver chains bear assay hallmarks stamped on individual curb links, the T-bar, and the swivel clasps, indicating the silver purity, maker, and date mark.

While traditionally worn across a waistcoat, these chains are frequently repurposed today as silver necklaces, wrapped wrist bracelets, or decorative attachments on modern tailored jackets.

Silver chains should be wiped regularly with a soft silver polishing cloth to remove surface oxidation and tarnish without abrasive liquid cleaners that strip historical patina.
