This exceptional English 18 karat gold watch chain dates to about 1890-1900 and is marked on every link with the English crown and 18 for 18 karat gold. The T-bar bears the maker’s mark of J.W. Benson Ltd., the celebrated London watchmaker.
Measuring 17.5 inches long and weighing 59.19 grams, it features a highly sought-after paperclip link design and remains wonderfully wearable more than a century after it was made.
