$699.00

Hallmarked in 1902, this outstanding double Albert chain by Henry Pope. Constructed in Birmingham with substantial curb links and a matched set of T-bar and clips, every component is fully lion-marked. Chains of this size and completeness are highly desirable, representing the transition from high Victorian into the Edwardian era.

Details

  • Sterling silver (92.5%)

Dimensions

Why It Matters
Weight and matched hallmarks elevate a chain from ordinary to exceptional. Pope’s work is less commonly seen than other Birmingham makers, and this example stands out for both its mass and its fully original hallmarked components.

Collector’s Note
Heavy matched Alberts from the turn of the century are in strong demand. This Henry Pope example offers the solidity of late Victorian silver alongside a high level of preservation — a showpiece for collectors.
