Complete niello silver Albert pocket watch chain with a monogrammed oval locket and original T-bar. The locket retains both of its interior portrait frames and features niello decoration matching the chain and clasp, forming a conceived and preserved unitary set.
Albert chains with lockets were common gentlemen's accessories during the late Victorian era. The niello decoration, alternating fluted links, and floral monogram reflect the aesthetic movement's taste of the late 19th century. The uniformity of the decorative work on the chain, T-bar, and locket, along with the preservation of all its original elements, is consistent with European, probably French, manufacturing between 1885 and 1905.
