A wonderful antique 16” large curb double Albert chain with a detachable T bar and double dog clip clasps. This beautiful chain is a substantial, everyday classic. It has particularly lovely link and overall look.

The watch chain is a particularly versatile piece. It can be worn Albert style with the T bar clipped to the dog clips at the front, or the T bar can be removed and the chain can be worn on its own, or to suspend a statement pendant or charms. The chain attached to the T bar can also be used to extend the chain slightly to 16.5”/42cm long, if desired. The chain could also be doubled up and worn as a bracelet.

The chain is crafted in 9ct rich antique yellow gold. The chain measures approximately 16”inches/41cm long and weighs 42.8g. It dates from the beginning of the 20th century.

The links are uniform in size. They measure approximately 13.5mm x 7.4mm x 2mm. Every link is stamped with ‘9 375’ for 9ct gold.

One of the dog clips is stamped with ‘9C’ for 9ct gold, the other has the maker’s mark of ‘M&M’. Both dog clips are a good size, measuring approximately 23mm from end to end.

The T bar is stamped with ‘9 .375’ for 9ct gold. It is also stamped with the sponsor’s mark of ‘EW’. The T bar measures 38mm across.
