1890s British Victorian Openwork Square Box Chain

This 1890s Victorian era box chain from Britain is crafted from the special alloy Pinchbeck. It measures 140 cm in length and features a clasp. The long chain is constructed with cubic links, forming a flat, three-dimensional structure with a neat, rhythmic geometric pattern. Each link is adorned with rectangular openwork on all four sides, showcasing a generous and simple design. Its excellent length and clasp make it a versatile piece, perfect for accentuating any pendant with a sleek, modern touch. About the special alloy Pinchbeck: Pinchbeck is a non-precious metal alloy, a mixture of copper and zinc in specific proportions, designed to visually mimic the appearance of gold. It was invented in the early 18th century by London clockmaker Christopher Pinchbeck as a more accessible alternative to 18k gold. The alloy gradually fell out of use after 9k gold became legally recognized in Britain. The long chain is in good antique condition, showing normal signs of oxidation and wear consistent with its age. Some links have more noticeable scratches, reflecting its status as a century-old antique rather than a new item.
