A genuine antique Albertina chain with T-Bar, swivel fastener and decorative tassle.
Length is approximately 11 inches.
An Albertina watch chain is very similar to an Albert watch chain, the only difference being that typically an Albertina watch chain is more decorative. An Albertina usually includes design motifs that were quintessential to the Victorian era, these include: tassels, hearts, fobs, and balls all of which were heavy decorated with chased gold work or deeper ornate engravings.
Albert chains were worn from the sixteenth century but became popular as a style of watch chain worn by Prince Albert during the Victorian period. The Albert style went to a T-bar that tucked into a buttoned buttonhole of the waistcoat. From there a further small length of chain hung, to which the wearer attached decorative charms such as fraternity or lodge symbols. The double Albert was a chain draped between both watchpockets, with the T-bar and pendant chain in the middle.
