An antique sterling silver Albertina chain dating to c.1880, featuring a striking rope-link design that connects two finely detailed and chased end pieces.
These lead to an additional tabbed link decorated with forget-me-not flowers, from which a dog clip is attached. Suspended from the chain is a silver tassel pendant, along with an extra bolt clasp allowing further charms or fobs to be added.
The combination of rope work, floral detailing, and functional fittings creates a versatile Victorian piece that can be styled in multiple ways. A strong example of late 19th-century silver work.
