Victorian 60 Inch Long Fancy Link Guard or Watch Chain of Pinchbeck with High Carat Gilding. This beautiful heavy muff or lorgnette chain dates from the late Georgian or early Victorian era. Chains like this were worn by women of the mid-19th century to hold a watch, lorgnettes, fur muffs, lockets, or other pendants. If used with a watch, the very long chain would have been worn wrapped around a belt or tucked into a waistband, with the watch dangling.
