This beautiful combination has been created by pairing an engraved antique silver pencil with an antique snake-style curb chain.
The pencil, likely once part of a chatelaine, dates to 1877 according to its hallmarks. It still has an inner section of pencil which slides out of the mechanism, just as it was designed to.
We have combined it with a rare 20" (51cm) section of guard chain in a snake curb style, and added a new silver Albert clasp in the traditional style to complete the look.
