Rare 22 carat antique guard chain measuring 195cm in length
Guard chains were originally designed for a woman to wear around her neck with her fob watch attached. Muff chains followed the same principle and were designed to attach the woolen muff to, so when the lady went inside, she could remove her hands from the muff. This amazing antique guard chain was made in Portugal in the 1800’s and measures an astonishing 195cm (6ft 4″). Made in solid 22 carat gold, it was hand made and truly like no other.
