This RARE and
Absolutely Stunning, beautifully ornate Ladies’ Antique watch Vest fob chain is
in Perfect Working Order and presenting in Excellent, Original condition! It is
simply perfect to be paired with an Antique Pocket Watch.
It features a U shaped clip at the top designed to fasten to a
vest pocket. The repousse detailing or deep embossing on the clip is just
beautiful and typical of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. It is totally
intact & functions perfectly. From this hangs a series of fancy links – the
pictures provide the best description. At the bottom is a signet charm/wax seal
of the same design cappings. It is different to most as it was designed with a
flattened appearance. It is engraved with the monogram, D.
There is the chain to which a pocket watch attaches with the
clip functioning perfectly with springiness like new.
COLOUR
It has that silky smooth feel usually only associated with solid
carat gold and to be expected of quality antique jewellery. The gold has a warm
yellow hue with pink/rose highlights, especially to the signet charm stamp.
