About:
A stunning victorian dutch 14ct yellow gold novelty fox/dog motif chain circa 1850s.
A rare and exciting find!
Made from solid 14ct Yellow Gold and has a very pretty semi articulated three dimensional fancy bar box link chain.
The fox has a lovely garnet eyes and an intricately tooled body.
The chain has had a 9ct gold belcher extender chain added to the end to make it an ideal necklace length but this can easily be removed and reattached as it was without any detriment to its originality.
The chain would have originally been made as a ladies Albertina chain to hold a ladies gold pocket watch.
An extremely aesthetically pleasing peace of jewellery and a must have piece for antique jewellery lover, we purchased this piece alongside a similar necklace which has a sighthound dog motif.
Chain has a quality hook catch ( this would have originally fastened to the ladies garment) and the other side of the chain has its split ring end hoop which would have gone on a watch.
There are numerous dutch gold hallmarks featuring the leaf motif meaning 14ct gold ( also professionally tested as such)
Condition:
Amazing condition, an Immaculate piece of jewellery.
There is two little period lead solder repair spots on the chain if being critical but this is hardly noticeable.
Cleaned and lightly polished
Materials:
14ct Yellow gold, marked and professionally tested as such.
9ct rosey gold belcher chain extender
Total weight= 12.14 grams
