Victorian 1901 Sterling Silver Graduated Curb Link Albert Chain with Albertina

This is a beautiful, antique graduated curb link sterling silver Albert chain.  Because of its relatively short length I have combined it with a very special Albertina, which could be worn on its own as a bracelet.

Every link on this beautifully graduated Albert chain is hallmarked for sterling silver, the t-bar, dogclip and the chain are hallmarked for Thomas and Marshall of St Paul's Square and Frederick Street, Birmingham, UK.  So rare to find all original components and in such wonderful condition.

The Albertina is a old one consisting of a finely made rope chain, with a decorative centre piece.  She also has a threepence attached to her, it is very worn, but looks like a young Queen Victoria which would date her from 1838 to 1854.

The Albert chain is 325mm long and the Albertina 210mm.  Combined they make a necklace of 535mm long.  Both pieces are in very good antique condition.  What a beautiful, unique wear everyday necklace.
