A fine Victorian gentleman’s watch chain, complete with its original T-bar and an attached ornate locket fob. Crafted in warm antique metal tones with a classic curb link chain, this piece blends function with decorative appeal.
The chain measures 11.5 inches without the locket and 12.5 inches including the locket. The locket itself measures 1.25” x 1” and features intricate hand-engraved detailing with a bold crescent motif at the center. It opens to hold a photograph or memento, as was fashionable in the 19th century.
Measurements:
Chain length: 11.5” (without locket), 12.5” (with locket)
Locket: 1.25” x 1”
T-bar: original, attached
Condition: In good antique condition with typical age wear and patina consistent with its history. Clasp and locket hinge are sound.
Collectors’ Note:
Victorian watch chains with attached lockets are highly collectible, especially when both T-bar and fob remain intact. This versatile piece can be worn as a traditional watch chain, repurposed as a necklace, or enjoyed as a showcase of fine 19th-century craftsmanship.
