Product Details

A fabulous antique French guard chain from the late 19th Century consisting of fancy, open-work links fashioned in silver and gilded in a bright yellow gold with a claw clasp hung at the end, complete with French hallmarks.

Guard chains were at the height of popularity in the 18th & 19th Century. Both fashionable and practical, they were deliberately long enough to be tucked into a belt and the clasp was usually adorned with a pocket watch, lorgnette or muff.

It has a good weight and length, measuring 56 inches so it can be worn as one long chain or looped twice around the neck to make two festoons of gold.
