EARLY 19TH CENTURY PINCHBECK CHUNKY BELCHER CHAIN

A fantastic chunky Pinchbeck belcher chain with the original matching barrel clasp.

The links have beautiful striped chasing, giving the chain a gorgeous texture, which is also present on the large matching barrel clasp.

The chain is super long, so can be worn either once or twice around the neck, for different looks.

The links are a large scale, so the chain makes a fantastic impact when worn!

The chain has an additional safety chain added at a later date.

Circa 1830/40, this chain is a transition between the Georgian and Victorian periods, and is one of the best I have seen!

Pinchbeck is a brass alloy. That looks very similar to gold, and doesn’t tarnish like other metal alloys.

It was invented in the early 18th century by Christopher Pinchbeck, a London clock- and watch-maker.

It is collectible in its own right!
