Victorian Long Silver Snake Link Guard Chain

447M
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A fabulous thick silver long snake link guard chain. It was made circa 1880. These guard chains were popular during the Victorian era. They were used to hang accessories such as a pair of scissors or keys from. They are also known as “Muff Chains” as sometimes a muff was hung from them so that you could keep your hands warm in cold weather and not lose the muff. They are worn nowadays either full length, doubled or trebled up, or even knotted and look very decorative.
