Description from the seller
Splendid, in my opinion unique, a piece of art and very ancient history, dating back to around the mid-1800s, Victoria watch. But in this case, the spectacular object—what I consider museum-worthy—is the splendid Chatelaine, which you can observe at its best in the numerous photos specially provided to allow you to see it in all its nuances.
An angelic putto, crafted in art with detailed precision, including the wings, by the master silversmith of the era, here you can observe the mastery and meticulousness in the creation of what, in those times—and unquestionably even today—is a jewel of artistic and historical value. It was most likely made specifically and commissioned by or for an important personality.
From the wings of the Putto, two chains start, with an incredible pattern alternating between parts of silver filigree and small gold disks or plates in 14-karat tested gold. The rhomboid bearings located on the back of the Chatelaine's watch holder are also in 14-karat gold, as is the central circle (photo) and parts of the Putto's face, such as the crown and the necklace, which are also in 14-karat gold.
The gold discs that alternate with the chain's pattern number 28 (7 by 4), and the Chatelaine alone weighs exactly 28 grams, with a watch holder diameter of approximately 39 mm.
The watch, on the other hand, measures 32 mm in diameter from left to right, and weighs 23 grams.
The watch is made of silver, stamped, and has a single sign of wear on the ceramic of the dial, located on the edge to the right of the '12', and some signs of wear on the external silver case, on the back side, which is hidden when inserted into the Chatelaine.
Regarding the functioning, the watch works well, but since it has not been tested over the long term, I proactively recommend cleaning and lubrication to optimize performance.
