This grand antique Edwardian Albert chain is crafted from solid sterling silver, lavishly gilded in sunny 18ct yellow gold. Measuring 16 inches, it features substantial curb links centred by a classic T-bar drop and finished with a pair of swivel dog clips. Each individual link bears an authentic sterling silver lion passant mark, while the T-bar carries 1908 Birmingham hallmarks and maker’s mark of Henry Pope. One clasp is original, with the other being a replacement bearing the mark of H. W. Ashford.
Made in Birmingham’s renowned Jewellery Quarter in 1908, this handsome piece evokes the elegance and romance of a bygone golden era. Originally worn draped across a tailored waistcoat, Albert chains were treasured for keeping precious pocket watches and sentimental tokens close to the wearer’s heart.
Preserved in excellent condition, its satisfying weight, substantial links and radiant golden finish make it a stylish piece to wear. Today, it lends itself beautifully to a luxurious statement collar necklace, equally striking worn alone or adorned with your favourite charms.
