Victorian gold plated long guard chain c1890

This is a very long chain which can be worn around the neck as a necklace. It can be doubled up to create a shorter version or kept long. The shorter version is ideal for pendants or fob watches. As a longer version, it would have been used to hang an eye glass or spectacles or as a very long necklace. The chain is made up of a length or close parallel curb links and has a dog clip at one end. The chain measures in total 1250mm, with a length of 640mm for the long version and 310mm for the doubled version. The chain is in 90% mint condition – a little dull in colour and the dog clip has lost most of its gold plating
