Watch Chain Lot 2pc. Dating to the late Victorian era (c. 1880s–1900), this exceptional 2-piece lot of unsigned brass chatelaine belt hook accessories highlights the 19th-century utility clips worn by ladies of fashion to suspend everyday tools like watches, scissors, and key sets. The collection features a stamped gilt-brass figural clip depicting an embossed rococo scene of a seated woman and child (measuring approximately 4.5 by 2.25 inches) alongside a classic multi-strand chain clip equipped with swivel clips and bar spacers (measuring 8.5 inches in total hanging length). Both pieces present in original antique condition without major breaks or solder repairs, displaying expected rubbing to the gilt finish, surface tarnish, and verdigris oxidation on the reverse, while the figural clip's iron spring pin remains intact despite surface rust.
