An aesthetic era antique sterling silver decorative book chain necklace that dates back to the late 1800’s Victorian era.
The Aesthetic movement was “aimed to escape the ugliness and materialism of the Industrial Age…producing art that was beautiful rather than having a deeper meaning – 'Art for Art's sake’.”
The silver book chain necklace is made up of a repetition of 29 oblong rectangular shaped links - each hand engraved with floral filigree patterning.
The exceptionally beautiful antique necklace opens and closes with a well working and oversized o-ring round ball clasp mechanism, perfect for hanging charms and pendants from.
The chain runs a good length of 50cm.
Please note this sale is only for the chain necklace not the pendants pictured.
