What an amazing example of an early Victorian long guard- particularly in the coveted 55” length. We almost never find exceptional chains of this era, especially in all original condition with fully articulated links; this chain almost needs to be touched to be believed. Like an amorphous river of golden light, this Pinchbeck chain is going to make a landmark addition to any collection focused on special historical pieces.

Please view and inspect any photos closely. We endeavor to fully disclose all condition information clearly and concisely, however, please note that what qualifies as excellent condition for historical jewelry differs from modern and contemporary pieces; please take the age of the piece into account when examining the piece. Minor age wear is typical and to be expected for antique and vintage jewelry. Unless otherwise stated, gemstones have not been officially graded for color, clarity, or treatment by GIA; any information provided is our own educated, professional assessment.
