Description from the seller
Antique Pocket Watch Chain (Chatelaine) in Solid 14K Gold (585) - 37.5 cm / 11g - circa 1890/1910
Description:
Elegant and refined antique pocket watch chain (chatelaine) in Solid 14 Karat Yellow Gold, dating back to the Liberty/Umbertine period (at the crossroads of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, circa 1890-1910). A high-quality accessory, ideal to accompany prestigious contemporary pocket watches.
Features and technical specifications:
• Material: Solid 14-carat gold. It bears the official "585" hallmark clearly stamped and perfectly legible on the clasp body, accompanied by the corresponding era goldsmith’s maker’s mark.
• Design: Fine period geometric workmanship with elongated solid bar links (strip-like) alternating with twisted oval connecting rings.
• Components: Complete with the original embossed spring snap hook finely worked in relief and a large terminal spring ring (bolt ring) richly decorated and engraved with floral/geometric period motifs.
• Total length: about 37.5 cm.
• Weight: 11 grams (verified on a digital scale).
Condition:
The chain is in overall excellent condition for its age. The swivel snap hook and the ring’s spring remain perfectly stable, tonal, and snappy. The metal retains the beautiful warm patina typical of antique gold, with minimal signs of wear that attest to its authenticity and historic charm.
International professional shipping, fully tracked and insured with maximum-security packaging.
