Pinchbeck Long-Guard Chain
|
Dateline: Late 19th Century |
Item# 36808 |
M2644 A beautiful Victorian Pinchbeck Long-Guard or Muff-Chain in excellent condition.
( "Pinchbeck" is a form of brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, mixed in proportions so that it closely resembles gold in appearance. It was invented in the 18th century by Christopher Pinchbeck, a London clockmaker. Since gold was only sold in 18-carat quality at that time, the development of pinchbeck allowed ordinary people to buy gold 'effect' jewelry on a budget. The inventor allegedly made pinchbeck jewellery clearly labelled as such. Pinchbeck jewellery was used in places like stagecoaches where there was a risk of theft.)
This Chain is in beautiful condition and is made up from small box style links all joined together. These Long chains have been made in Gold and Silver, but are extremely expensive.
Condition: Excellent.
Dimensions: The total length is 60 inches or 180cm.
