A fabulous example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, this solid 18ct gold Victorian watch chain is a substantial and wearable antique that merges history with enduring quality. Weighing 41.86 grams, it features coveted open curb links, each individually stamped with a crown and “18”, crafted in a warm, slightly peachy gold hue richer than modern yellow gold.
The chain measures 16.5 inches and extends up to 18 inches when styled with the removable T-bar pendant, offering versatile wear as a standalone necklace or layered piece. Both dog clips and the swivel T-bar are original and fully functional, each marked with the “B&S” maker’s stamp, as are two of the solid gold links.
In very good antique condition, the chain shows only minor wear in keeping with its age. The structure remains secure, with strong dog clips and links that speak to the quality of its construction. Ideal for daily wear or statement styling, this chain offers a satisfying weight and luxurious feel in every solid link.
