ABOUT PRODUCTID 41978
This antique pocket watch chain with a locket, crafted in Austria around 1880, represents the refined jewelry craftsmanship of the late Victorian era with subtle Art Nouveau influences. Made from gold-plated brass using the 'gold double' technique, it features a warm, rich gold tone with a slightly reddish hue and a lustrous, polished finish. The chain is composed of substantial, rounded rectangular links interspersed with smaller connectors, creating a visually striking, robust design. The round locket, measuring 1.7 cm in diameter, is also gold-plated, adorned with delicate engraved scrollwork and a centrally set stone—likely glass or a semi-precious gem. The surface is smooth and glossy, with precise detailing throughout. The piece is finished with a traditional spring ring clasp and a hook for attaching a pocket watch. The length of the chain is 28 cm. The condition is very good, with minor signs of use such as light patina and fine surface scratches typical for authentic jewelry of this period. All elements are original and true to the spirit of the late 19th century.The form of this chain and locket evokes the atmosphere of late 19th-century European salons—a time when everyday objects became intimate tokens. The smooth, gleaming surface of gold-plated brass catches the light, while the delicate engraving and central stone in the locket suggest attention to detail and sentimental value. This piece seems to tell stories
