Antique 18CT Rolled Gold Curb Chain Bracelet with Heart Padlock

A lovely antique curb chain bracelet secured with a heart-shaped padlock, often used as a charm bracelet. Rendered in 18-carat rolled gold, no one would ever guess it's not a solid gold piece costing ten times as much!

Suitable for a man or a woman. The padlock does not click open and closed as these pieces often do, the smaller part hinges down inside the loop at a 45-degree angle to open.

SIZE: Approximately 7 inches long x 1cm. The padlock measures 2.2 x 1.4cm.

WEIGHT: 25.9g.

MATERIALS: 18-carat (750) rolled gold.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: Stamped 18CT ROLLED GOLD PATENT. Also stamped WJH - William J Holmes, a jeweller known to have been working from the 1890s through to the 1930s.

CONDITION: Very good vintage condition with normal surface wear, largely to the edges of the padlock.

ERA: Estimated late Victorian/Edwardian (c.late 1800s-1914).
