SOLD

This is an early and large pocket watch chain which has a dog clip at one end and a very unusual and detailed mount at the other of a chain mail gauntlet entwined with a snake. This holds the bolt ring

The rest of the chain is a heavy gilt metal intricate mesh link

The chain measures 305mm long x 8mm wide

The chain is in 90% mint condition – the gilding has worn away from most of the chain but the gauntlet is perfect and looks and feels like solid gold but is gilt
