This silver watch chain was originally used to carry a pocket watch, but its length makes it very suitable to wear as a necklace.
I have added a silver heart-shaped padlock, which is set with a cabochon-cut garnet on one side, and an engraved pattern on the back.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Size: The watch chain is 45 cm / 17.7 inches long; the padlock measures 34 x 18 mm.
Weight: combined 24.60 grams.
Age and material: The hallmarks on the watch chain tell us it was made from Sterling 925/1000 silver in London in 1862. The padlock does not display any hallmarks but has been acid tested as being silver, and was made in the same time period.
Condition: In great antique condition with some wear, consistent with their age.
Please note that the antique box is for display purposes.
