Collection of Three Antique Victorian Black Faceted French Jet Beaded Long Muff / Guard Chains.
Three antique Victorian Black french Jet Beaded long Muff/ Guard Chains with Dog Clips.
These beautiful antique chains were once an essential part of a Victorian lady's apparel. Antique guard chains were long chains sculpted from Gold, Silver, Base Metal, Beads, Jet or French Jet and designed to have multiple uses from holding a pocket watch or longer strands to hold a ladies Muff and were even substantial enough to be worn as a necklace wrapped a number of times around the neck.
French Jet is black glass, originally meant to simulate black ignite (fossilized coal), often called real jet. French jet refers to a type of black glass jewelry popularized during the Victorian Era.
The first Guard Chain has a length of 62". The beads are individually knotted on original cord and it is in very good antique condition as shown.
The second Guard Chain has a length of 66". The beads are individually chained and it is in very good antique condition as shown.
The third Guard Chain has a length of 53". The beads are individually knotted on original cord but it has been broken and re-tied and is missing some beads (as shown in the last photo) and is included in the collection for spares or repair only.
We strive to describe and photograph all of our items clearly and truthfully. Unless otherwise stated, our vintage and antique jewellery is not cleaned. This is due to many requests for vintage jewellery to be left in it's original condition. If you have any questions about this item then please don't hesitate to contact me prior to purchase... Thank you.
