On offer is a fine antique sterling silver Albert watch chain, fully hallmarked across multiple links and complete with its original T-bar and a functional brass and steel watch key dropper.

Beautifully proportioned and substantial in hand, it’s a timeless choice for collectors of horological accessories or those looking to style vintage waistcoats with authenticity.

🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES:
This piece is typical of late 19th to early 20th-century English silver Albert chains, commonly hallmarked across several links to guarantee authenticity and purity. The “sterling” marks are crisp and legible, and the attached No. 9 winding key suggests it was used with a full-size gentleman’s pocket watch. These were often given as gifts or awards and worn as both status symbols and practical accessories.
