Antique sterling silver oval link chain. This piece would have originally been used as a gentleman's chain for a pocket watch, known as a double Albert. This style of piece is still popular and is now often worn by women as a necklace. It's crafted from a series of long oval, trombone shaped links alternating with three smaller round links. The links are heavy and sturdy, made from 1.9 mm rounded wire and joined together. At each end of the chain is a dog clip, one with partial hallmarks, and one with full hallmarks. The one with full hallmarks may be a replacement. In the centre is a large t-bar. Circa early 20th century.

Hallmarked for sterling silver on the t-bar, date letter for 1910, and on one of the dog clips, date letter for 1907. Each long oval shape link is marked.

Measures 43 cm / 17 inches long by 6.5 mm wide.
